Holiday Cheer

Written By Colēgia

With the holidays here it's time for cheer with all of the people we care about here. From classmates to parents to teachers to volunteers, everyone deserves some appreciation this year. The holidays are a great reminder to cherish those around us since it brings us all closer together. We want you to enjoy the holidays and here are a few of the great things to be thankful for as the year reaches its end.

Family

When we look at who's been with us since the very beginning, our family has had our back time and time again. They provide us shelter along with love and support. They take us to school, help us with homework, and participate in various events as well. The holidays are a time to celebrate those around us, which is especially important for our family. Winter vacation allows students to relax with their family members with good food, fun music and simply being there for each other. Strong family bonds are the core of a good support system since it's an essential part of our mental well-being. Many holidays have everyone getting gifts for one another to show their appreciation. It's this ability to demonstrate gratitude through action that helps us tangibly promote gratitude.

Time To Rest

As rewarding as school and work are, they do require a lot of mental energy. The great thing about the holidays is that they give us a reprieve from our responsibilities. Not only does this help us disconnect but it can leave us feeling more refreshed when we eventually return to these things. Time off also helps us reconnect with our passions as well. Having some extra time to work on a hobby you care about can be immensely rewarding. It takes a gradual effort to improve at the things you value and any chance that we have time off can help us work towards that. With time to rest, we can focus on getting ourselves back to a state of balance. It can help us reassess how we feel and what things we need to work on to feel more stable.

A Joyful Time

The holidays are one of the best reminders to be happy for the life you have. Too often we find ourselves wanting so much more than what we have. While there's nothing wrong with wanting the best for yourself, it can't come at the cost of forgetting what's already there. With festive music, eye-catching decorations, and good food, it's hard not to be happy during the holiday season. The holidays are a celebration of life and are there to let us know that we're all in this together. It's a time when we can let go of past frustrations and focus on moving on to all the good things we deserve. Joy can be found in so many places and we're capable of spreading that same happiness as well.
