Reducing Holiday Stress

For many, this time of year is filled with family, friends, social gatherings, and all the accompanying joy and stress. However, there are many people who are alone this time of year.

Consider spreading a little holiday cheer to an elderly person or shut-in. Invite yourself over for a cup of coffee, or bring some cookies to share. Even a brief visit can mean a lot to someone who is lonely.

Reach out to someone who has no family, or whose family is far away - you'll be glad you did.

I am one of those people who has no family and you are so right about reaching out. This is a difficult time of year for those who have family, so much more difficult for those who no longer do. Sharing the day with someone else who is alone is a wonderful way to help two people, yourself AND the person you spend the time with.
So much better than hiding away like I used to!
