As the county music song goes, “What were we thinking?” Actually we were thinking about all the things Katrina could learn through this venture. She has learned record keeping, time management, display skills, pricing, profit margins, crafting skills and most importantly she has gained quite a bit of self con fidence. As you and your families are now hilly engaged in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I hope you are making sound de cisions on family routines and ac tivities to reduce your holiday stress (unlike me). Here are some ways to deal with holiday stress: Concentrate on people instead of objects. For example, it’s more important to have fun making cookies than to have beautiful cook ies. Children will remember that they helped make the holiday cookies, not whether they were perfect. Prepare children for holi day visits by sharing photos of family members they may not have seen for a long time. Talk about who is going to be present and help children remember names.

Let children be part of the fes tivities by sharing in the responsi bilities such as picking up toys, setting the table, and so forth. Even a five-year-old can wrap presents. They may not be pic- ture perfect and they may be hard on the tape but they are a part of the festivities. Incorporate quiet times during your day. Soft slow music, quiet, cuddly stories, or a walk outside may help you and your child’s activity and anxiety levels go down. Schedule activities over several days so all the excitement doesn’t get overwhelming for ev eryone. Be selective about the activities you choose to involve yourself in. Choose those which are impor- tant to you and your family. Food Handlers Recertification Course Offered DOYLESTOWN (Bucks Co.)

Slow down rather than eat ing on the run. Avoid tasks or people that anger or irritate you, or change your attitude about them. Don’t expect anything to come off as planned. A child may de velop the flu, the electricity may go off in the middle of your holi day dinner or a storm may pre vent relatives from visiting. Real people and real families are not perfect. Don't expect yours to be. May you and your family enjoy your holiday experiences. Remember that ‘Tis the season to be realistic about what you can accomplish. course material.
