When the word, “ Holidays “is mentioned: the pictures that flash in your mind is a big family around a roasted turkey, kids opening gifts around the Christmas tree or toasting a group of friends as Midnight changes to the New Year. But what about the people who are away from their families, their loved one isn’t there, a loved one passed away or they just went through a break-up?

For these situations, the Holidays feel lonely and full of emotional dread.

Tricks to get through the Holidays:

• Go on Vacation.
• Set-up plans with others that are alone.
• Decide you can make your own Holiday cheer and go to a play, shopping event or make the most fantastic snowman ever!
• Stand by a mall and hand out a piece of candy with a note attached that says, ” You are loved in this world”.
• Do what you love!
• Share and Give to those less fortunate.
• Buy yourself a special gift…something that will bring you joy.
• Give out Hugs to those who want them.
• Be a Salvation Army bell ringer

Use these ideas to stimulate your imagination. Life is what you make it. So make a decision to find ways to make this season more cheerful for you. You are special and worth the effort!
