Freshen Holiday Traditions

Sometimes what has worked and been enjoyed in the past becomes tired and worn out.
What is important about traditions and rituals is that they have meaning. It seems that every year we may need to evaluate all the ways we celebrate the season and decide which ones we want to keep and which activities we can let go of. Most of us know we have limited energy and if we try to cram in too many activities and requests, we end up overwhelmed and exhausted.
"Choose" might be a mantra for the holidays. Choose the things that you truly savor and release some of the tasks that have become a burden. Every day remember why and what you are celebrating this year. I suspect you will find each day more fulfilling, some new discoveries and a fragrance of joy and peace.
