The little moments count
Make room for the Christmas you want to remember.
A familiar book, pajamas by the tree, music while you tidy up, or a quiet afternoon together can be enough. Pick a few things your family enjoys and leave space between them.
- Choose one tradition you’d like to repeat.
- Keep a simple activity ready for a day at home.
- Leave an evening open instead of filling every square on the calendar.
