Accepting imperfections in yourself and others is crucial.

The expectations of the holidays can be overwhelming. We all feel like we have to cook the perfect meal, create the perfect decorations, and give the perfect gift. If we don’t deal with these things, we fail and the holidays are a disaster. Unfortunately, life is not a Norman Rockwell painting. The cookies were burnt, our crazy neighbor hung 40,000 blinking lights, our three measly strings didn’t work at all, and the instructions for assembling our kid’s new bike might as well have been written in Greek. If we can accept the holidays as they happen, no matter how they happen, with good grace, then we have a better chance of enjoying ourselves and staying sane. So laugh at the burnt cookies and eat them, be glad you didn’t pay your neighbor’s electric bill, and take tons of pictures of your unassembled bikes and post them on social media so everyone can comment on your mechanical incompetence .
