Managing Holiday Emotions
We Americans have always considered Halloween to be the beginning of the holiday season. We have shed our fears. Now, we prep to be thankful. Then, we celebrate grace and salvation at Christmas. And lastly, the hope and excitement of a New Year’s possibilities. Yet, behind the glow of twinkling lights and the scent of cinnamon candles, many brace themselves for emotional turmoil. The holidays promise joy and connection, but also bring stress, loneliness, and unrealistic expectations. Emotional preparation is essential for maintaining balance and well-being during the holiday season.
