The Average Person Goes To 10 Holiday Events

The Average Person Goes To 10 Holiday Events

The holidays are around the corner and we are gearing up for a marathon of gatherings and parties with our family and friends. According to a recent survey the average person will attend 10 parties/gatherings this year. Going to that many events can be stressful. Listed below is a list from Parent Cue on how to survive the holidays with your loved ones.

1. Look for the lowest common denominator. Find out what you and everyone else in the party have in common, like favorite sports teams, movies etc.

2. Be curious. Walk into the gathering with an open mind and give the attendees, especially if they are your family a blank slate.

3. Imagine the big picture. If you have small kids at the gathering, they are watching you and how you react to sticky situations. Try not to let a disagreement ruin a family gathering.

4. Keep a sense of humor. Sometime you just have to laugh at the foolishness of your family and friends.
