Families plan how to meet during this unique year of the pandemic. How to celebrate their holidays when only limited numbers of members are allowed to meet.

How can family gatherings be held this year?

The smaller, more specifically selected holiday gatherings might bring something positive, as you can be more selective coho to meet. Yet, if the only people to meet are the ones you’d rather have to be blended with other more favorable family members, it’s difficult.

Needing to take decisions on how to manage to follow the restrictions put in place by the governments and still be able to practice traditions.

People around the world have to take such difficult decisions, which puts a strain on everyone. The tensions that have existed prior to the pandemic might escalate, due to everyone’s nerves lying blank after almost a year living under the constraints of the pandemic.

What can we do to get as smooth as possible through the holiday season?

Get a good mix of time together and alone.

Spend time attentively doing something together.

Bake, cook, play games, decorate the apartment/ house together.

Take walks or go for a run, do physical activity together or alone.
