Merry Christmas from Inclusion Together Media: Tips for Thriving During the Holidays

As we gather this Christmas to celebrate joy, love, and togetherness, we at Inclusion Together Media want to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season.

While this time of year is often filled with cheer, it can also be a challenging day for many. Whether you’re navigating family dynamics, dealing with loss, or simply trying to manage holiday stress, we want to remind you that you’re not alone.

Here are some practical tips to help you survive—and maybe even thrive—on Christmas Day:

1. Embrace the Moments That Matter

Focus on the simple joys: a conversation, a shared laugh, or the warmth of a hug. These moments often mean more than the perfect meal or the ideal gift.

2. Set Boundaries

It’s okay to say no. Protect your energy and only participate in activities that feel right for you. Your well-being is important.

3. Find Your Quiet Space

If the day gets overwhelming, take a break. Step outside for fresh air, find a quiet room, or spend a moment grounding yourself with deep breaths.

4. Practice Gratitude

While the holidays can bring up difficult emotions, focusing on what you’re thankful for—even small things—can shift your perspective and bring comfort.

5. Reach Out if You Need Support

The holidays can feel isolating, but help is always available. Reach out to a friend, family member, or a support line if you’re struggling. You don’t have to face it alone.

6. Celebrate Your Way

Traditions are beautiful, but they’re not mandatory. Celebrate in a way that feels authentic to you, whether that’s baking cookies, watching movies, or simply taking a day to rest.

7. Remember Inclusion

Christmas is about togetherness, and togetherness means including everyone. Take time to ensure everyone around you feels welcome, seen, and valued.
