The holiday season can be a time of great joy, but also great stress. It can be easy to lose sight of “the reason for the season” as we try and juggle all the competing demands on our time…decorating, shopping, celebrating…all the “holiday-ing” that we look forward to all year can be a little overwhelming. Children are a great reminder that there can be magic in this season as well. We wanted to offer up some ideas to help your family find more joy in the season. Hope you enjoy them, please drop us a line and let us know if they helped you. This one is from Dr. Parker, and we think it is a perfect prescription for happy holidays!

We wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday season!
