A friend got this "Holiday Bill of Rights" from her counsler when the celebrating of Halloween got a little too much for her grieving Mama's heart. I liked it so much that I am posting it for all of you.
1. You have the right to say TIME OUT! (time to let it out, blow a little steam, step away from the holidays)
2. You have the right to TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
3. You have the right to SOME 'BAH HUMBUG' DAYS!
4. You have the right to DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. There is no law that says Christmas or whatever holiday always has to be the same way.
5. You have the right to BE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. Be at home or wherever. Warm or cold...
6. You have a right to SOME FUN!
7. You have a right to CHANGE DIRECTIONS IN MID-STREAM. Holiday grief is unpredictable. You may be already to do something and then suddenly be overwhelmed. It's okay to change your mind.
8. You have a right to DO THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. Go to church at a different time, open presents at a different time, etc.
9. You have a right to REST, PEACE and SOLITUDE. You don't have to be busy all the time...
10. You have the right TO DO IT ALL DIFFERENT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
Much Love,
Roni
