Daily Mom Hug | 2nd Day of Christmas
♫♪On the Second Day of Christmas, Your Mom Gives You Permission♪♫
Good morning, fam.
On this second day of Christmas, I give you permission to feel your feels about the holidays.
Valid reasons to not participate traditionally:
You’re estranged from your parents and/or family
You’re not in the same place as family (job, deployment, etc.)
The whole mess is stressful
You feel ignored, either as the gift giver or the passed over recepient
Trauma associated with the season, religious or otherwise
You’re over the hypocrisy
And so many more.
You are not required to pretend you’re Cindy Lou Who.
You can choose how you (or don’t) participate.
Now is as good a time as any to give yourself permission to find a way to bring a sense of peace to your world.
Go ahead.
Much love,
Your Mom
