Well ,if you are tired of all this, then read on for what to do to have happier holidays.[21 Make your expectations possible to achieve. If you want everything to be perfect, with dinner starting on time. and all the kids behaving. you' re probably setting yourself up for disappointment. The thing to do is lower your expectations and give yourself permission not to have perfection.[3] Tell them that you want this year to be an event where everybody leaves the table and the house feeling good about himself or herself. At the McGraw house, we have a family Thanksgiving celebration ,where, before we eat, we make it clear that this day is important, in which we stop our usual routines and focus merely on celebrating the lives we've all been given.[4] Also remember that the holidays are not time for problem-solving. They are not annual events toｓｏｌｖｅｙｏｕｒｐｒｏｂｌｅｍｓ. If your family conflicts are worth talking about in December ,trust me ,they will still be "hot" in February .so save them until then. Remember , instead, what the holidays are really about -- family togetherness with those who arc an important part of your lives.[5] Give to others. If you're feeling empty during the holidays, the best way to get is to give. Fill up your heart by helping those who are less fortunate, for example. You will be amazed at the outcome ![6J Finally ,if all else fails and your family is still getting on your nerves, take a step back and relax. Keep smiling, no matter what happens, and try to remember, " There's always next year. "6１. What's the text mainly about?
