What if you were define a \u201cgood Christmas\u201d as simply sharing a meal with your family (whether it\u2019s a Nigellaesque feast, an overcooked turkey, or emergency take-away); enjoying some time off work to play with your kids (even if they squabble a bit); and finding a few hours to read a book (even if you have to get up a bit early to get that quiet time).<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Know where your responsibility stops<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You are not responsible for ensuring your family has a good time.

Take a moment to, if possible, step outside, look up at the stars and genuinely count your blessings. When you go back inside, you\u2019ll be able to see the noisy kids, grumpy father-in-law, slightly wonky tree, and rather cramped sitting room through very different eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lower your expectations Too often we put so much pressure on ourselves to have (and ensure others have) the perfect Christmas or New Year\u2019s Eve that we end up stressed, frazzled and disappointed.
