Christmas Day can bring a lot up.
Big feelings.
Big expectations.
Big celebrating.
And sometimes the stress shows up fast.
To help your family stay Strong, Safe and Fabulous today, try to:
• Keep the day simple, it doesn’t have to be perfect
• Share the load, one person shouldn’t carry everything
• Do a quick check in, what does everyone need today
• Build in a couple of quiet breaks, even five minutes helps
• If alcohol is involved, pace it, eat first, and keep an eye on mood changes
• Step in early if voices raise, take a breath, reset. go for a walk
• Have an exit plan if things start to feel unsafe
• Focus on what matters most, safety, calm, and connection
Strong, Safe and Fabulous at Christmas, and every day.
