I bit the bullet after refusing to use AI and asked Google “How to have fun during the holidays” just for you! 😆🤣 Here’s your well crafted answer:
💻 To have fun during the holidays, mix cozy indoor activities like baking cookies, watching movies, and decorating with festive outings such as seeing light displays, ice skating, or visiting Christmas markets; also, spread cheer by caroling or volunteering, and don’t forget self-care by setting realistic expectations and making time to relax and enjoy simple pleasures like a warm drink. 🖥️
When I read this answer, I WAS EXCITED!!! 😊 If you’ve been following this month we’ve been talking about all these things in one way or another. This Village is about learning to stress a little less and have a lot more 🤩 ! During the holidays you have ample opportunity to do just that if you intentionally tap into the joy 🤩 that’s all around you, but you’ve got to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE 🏠 sometimes! Whether you get out of your physical house 🏡 or the limits of your mind 🧠 , moving beyond the walls of your regular environment allows you to breathe 🧘🏾‍♀️ and bloom 🌼 into new vistas of joy! Love 💗 and joy 🤩 are waiting on you.
Pick up your 🛠️ that’s overflowing with good and great things. Get out of your 🏠 and look for opportunities to share your goodness ✨. Go receive holiday goodness✨. You are a gift🎁. Go be the great gift you are…. 🎁

What better time to laugh 😂😂🤣than the holiday season! There’s so much to celebrate and enjoy, while there’s also so many opportunities for funny foibles (who hasn’t created interesting looking holiday cookies? 🤪🤣) as we engage in all kinds of rituals. There’s nothing better for stress relief than a good ol’ belly laugh that squeezes the water from the edges of your eyes! 😂 Research even supports the stress releasing properties of laughter. Studies show laughter provides:
Physiological Relief: Laughter releases endorphins and reduces cortisol (stress hormone), improves blood flow, and can lower inflammation, benefiting your heart and mood.
Mood Booster: It shifts focus from worry to joy, making difficult situations feel less overwhelming and fostering a sense of lightness.
Connection: Sharing laughter with others builds bonds and creates positive memories, countering feelings of isolation or overload.
So, be sure to place copious amounts of laughter into your 🛠️ ASAP! Your body👤 and brain 🧠 will thank you 🙏🏿 for it!

Did you know that love 💗 is a stress reliever? Yes, sharing love and positive social connections significantly relieves stress by triggering feel-good hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which lower the stress hormone cortisol. The upside is these wonderful hormones promote feelings of calm, reduce anxiety, and bolster overall mental and physical well-being. As a result, you have the capacity to become more resilient to life’s inevitable challenges. Now, that’s love 💗 power 💪🏿!! To release the stress of the hustle and bustle of the season, be sure to put copious amounts of love 💗 for use in your 🛠️. Give it to yourself and others liberally. And remember a quote my Dad, Rev. B. L. Chandler, always used to say: “Love is not love 💗 until you give it away!”💝

The holidays can become a battleground for some of us when it comes to trying to please people. Friends want you to come to their parties. Family make demands on your time. Even your workplace can backhandedly make you give secret Santa or white elephant gifts to people you don’t even care for, but must act as if you do! How do you make everyone happy? How do you fulfill everyone’s expectations without making anyone feel unhappy? How do you do it all? YOU DON’T!!!! You get out two exceptionally valuable tools from your 🛠️: YES 👍🏿 and NO 👎🏿 Never forget the purpose and spirit of the holiday season. Make it your North Star. The season is about enjoyment and celebration! Make decisions based on this question: Do I want to do this? Does this allow me to enjoy the reason for the holiday season? Whatever response you get is the response you give to yourself and others. Remember: the joy of the holiday season is waiting for you!
