“We all know well that we can do things for others and in the process, crush them, making them feel that they are incapable of doing things by themselves. To love someone is to reveal to them their capacities for life, the light that is shining in them.” –Jean Vanier
Part II: Christmas Card Rituals
Involve your loved one in helping you address your holiday cards if possible, add a quick note to let others know how you and your loved one are doing. Make it a daily ritual to read and share the cards you receive in the mail. Display cards in places where you both can gain maximum enjoyment from them. Read holiday letters aloud. Do fun things – like picking your favorite holiday card.
Part III: Christmas Music
Christmas carols can be enormously uplifting. Have them on as background music throughout the season, and take time to listen together to family favorites. Sing to one another.
