The holiday’s are an amazing time to reconnect with friends and family that you don’t see all too often throughout the year. Many relatives and friends come together toward the end of the year to celebrate the holiday season! While this can all be exciting, it can also be incredibly frustrating and overwhelming for those who may be planning, organizing, and hosting these holidays. Around this time of the year, many people are tasked with cooking, cleaning, hosting, entertaining, and preparing for guests. This can be a stressful time for those in charge of all the preparations, so it is important to help out wherever you are needed, whether it be making guest beds or cooking mashed potatoes to take some stress off of your loved ones shoulders.

Everyone should be careful and kind throughout this season. Many people take for granted the blessings that they have, and can forget the importance of having those luxuries. Meanwhile, others are struggling to find a roof over their head or their next meal. The holiday season can also be tough on those who face poverty. This year, think about volunteering at your local soup kitchen, or dropping off canned goods at a local food pantry to help those in need. If you or someone you know needs help, there are people and policies in place for those who may need it, reach out, Happy Holidays!
