Advice for maximum merriment this holiday season:<\/p>\n

Come together.
\nHold each other close.
\nLet Presence be your anthem.<\/p>\n

Let go of expectation.
\nLean into gratitude.<\/p>\n

Focus less on what you can consume
\nand more on what you can contribute.<\/p>\n

Think less about things
\nand more about togetherness.<\/p>\n

Spend less money.
\nMake more memories.<\/p>\n

Give and receive
\nwith equal joy.<\/p>\n

Share old traditions.
\nCreate new ones.<\/p>\n

Sing, dance, laugh,
\nplay, lighten up.<\/p>\n

Keep it simple.
\nGo slow.<\/p>\n

And above all,
\nlet it be delightful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
