[CHAT] Dealing With the Holiday Season
It's the holiday season folks!
This means having to deal with family gatherings, giving and receiving gifts, and experiencing all your holiday traditions. As fun as the holidays can be, however, they can also be difficult.
Come join us to discuss the ups and downs of the holiday season on Monday 18th December at 7:30 AEDT - can't wait to see you there 🙂
Spending time with people who I’m really close to usually works for me, that and practicing self-care by listening to music or reading a book.
New years. Hanukkah. Cricket 😛 Probably some other things...
The ashes 😛
4.What other kinds of celebrations happen on or around Christmas?
I know that there are other religious celebrations that occur around Christmas like Hanukkah.
Also those whose birthdays just happen to fall on Christmas Day (I have a couple of relatives who do).
Thus far... uhm... I've had very appreciative parents when I've taken the Santa photos of their children....
What's something nice you can do for someone sometime over the Christmas period?
Crashing this GR at the last minute because I'm horrible like that, muahahaha >:D

Be there for them! Christmas isn't fun for everyone, so being open to that fact and willing to give people space (or a hug, or an ear) can go a long way towards making it an easier time all round. And for those who do love Christmas, go hang out and have fun together! The best gift you can give is good company.
(Although for the record, I will still be proper miffed if all Santa gets me this year is a chat over a beer and a hug. Magical bearded old men are nice and all, but I want my Maserati, damnit.)
I definitely back the idea of sharing the love though :D!
That's all we have time for tonight everyone, but feel free to continue this chat!
Thanks to everyone who joined - have a great Christmas 😄
A HUGE thanks to @Ben-RO for all the great GRs he's helped run, been great chatting with ya mate :D!
It's been so good @FootyFan26 and thank you coming to almost every single one! I've had so much fun with you over the years and i am so grateful for all that amazing time.
Same goes for all of you! It's been so nice to pop in and say hello! I'm going to miss doing this every monday night quite a bit!
Thank you all for coming tonight! Merry Holidays, Hanukah, Chistmas, Cricketmas, or Festivus to you all!
I've done a few good deeds.
I helped a young boy reconnect and feel less anxious about having a photo with santa after he had an anxiety attack. His parents were so grateful that I took the time to help and came up with some ideas to help their son. The mum couldn't thank me enough. My reward was seeing the boy come back from it and getting the photo with his sisters. It melted my heart 🙂
Yes I agree too. And I do when I can I just didn't have anything christmas specific and it was most recent and I had to share! 🙂
