Answering your Christmas Questions

Christmas can be tricky even when we aren’t facing a particular challenge. And it can be extra hard when you’re grieving or going through other personal difficulties. 
In today’s episode, the three of us discuss:


Acknowledging that Christmas is always intensified as there’s always pressure to have to a perfect time. 

Why we all need to be realistic and recognise that not everyone is going to be happy all the time and that’s ok. It’s important to take the pressure off.

Children have more feelings - tantrums as well as joy and why you should ride the waves of emotion. 

Allowing for difference - if you have new family members or friends joining you for Christmas then allow each person to introduce their own Christmas tradition. 

Why Christmas can be challenging in blended families and why great communication and clear planning can help.

Grief at Christmas can be very hard - we discuss ideas to help support you through it.

Tips on what to do if you’re spending Christmas alone 


We hope that whatever you might be doing this Christmas, that it’s as happy as it can be and that you all have a brilliant end to 2022!
