Do the holidays at your house have to be perfect?

The gifts have to be wrapped just so. The decorations have to be hung on the tree like this. The Christmas cookies must have this color icing. Sound familiar? The holidays can bring on a lot of extra pressure – if you let them. To avoid that intensity, be flexible. If traditions turn out a little differently this year, that’s OK. If the kids don’t hang the ornaments on the tree just right...let it go. Instead, focus on enjoying your family and friends in the spirit of the season. In your celebration, forget perfection.

Remember, your family first.
