Yes, the holidays can be maddening. Yes, family can be frustrating. Yes, you might want to run off and hide.<\/p>\n
My advice\u00a0regarding the holidays is to simply let people know that you appreciate them. Two things are universally true; everyone\u00a0is significant and everyone will pass. Take the time to say “I love you” or simply tell someone they matter to you. \u00a0It is the little things that can often carry the most meaning. Friendship and love bind us and they are singular human qualities. Exercise them.<\/p>\n
