4 Days to Christmas: Rest
The big cook-off will start soon. The excitement of a special holiday shared, and all the expectations that go with that.

Although it is wonderful to have the old tradition that provides us with belonging and relevance, there is a new generation waiting, and they are ready to find their way.
Do something today that will become a tradition that will ensure that the family keeps on evolving and not get stuck in the past. This way you ensure the future of the family.
Like what?
• Let every person write or draw a special message or picture that you place on the tree for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. On that day, every person picks a note from the tree as their special message.
• Bake cookies to put on the tree, like the original decorations of the Christmas Tree. Decorate them with icing pens.
• Have a sunrise swim with a very special treat afterwards. To join in the treat, you must join the swim.
Let your mind go, let everyone give their input, and make it a NEW family tradition. Kids are always more willing and eager than grown-ups. Tap into their energy.

Give every family permission to enjoy the day or morning with their respective families.
As you sit around the fire tonight, or the dining table, take some time to recall the family.
Start by being what you want to see in your family.
By now, you might be on your way to the family. Be very sure that the first thing you pack is your sense of humour.
All of us want to know that we are heard and seen, and with that, we know that we are valued.
