December: Party Time or Time to Recharge?

After a ‘cancelled Christmas’ last year, everyone is hoping for better things this year. But our anticipation is tinged with anxiety. Will everything go ahead? Can the reality live up to expectations? 

Research has shown that all too often we overestimate the positivity of a future event, believing it will make us happier than it actually does. To avoid that, we need either not to create any expectations at all—pretty near impossible when it comes to Christmas—or take the spotlight off our own happiness and focus on how we can help others feel happy. 

This month, Caroline and I want to help you have one of your best Christmases ever, by bringing joy to others. I’ll be writing about how to choose the best gifts for your loved ones, and how to make sure those you’re spending Christmas with will have the best day possible. Caroline will offer ways to make this Christmas the best yet one for that most special four-legged member of the family.

Here’s to a lovely Christmas!

All the best,

Caroline and Linda
