Our number one tip this holiday season? Don’t forget it’s the holidays. When you’re working to keep your business alive, push your company’s numbers into the black and take advantage of all the people doing their holiday shopping, it is easy to forget that the holidays are supposed to be a happy time. So here’s a list of simple things you can do around your office (and home) to help you, and those around you, enjoy the holiday season just a little bit more.
1. Take some time out of your busy schedule to do some service. Get your family or some friends together and help out at a local food pantry, deliver food to those in need or help your neighbors shovel their driveways – there are so many ways to serve!
2. Make both your home and office feel festive. Set-up and decorate a tree in your home, hang lights from your house, set up tinsel around your desk, and break out all of those pictures you have of your kids sitting on Santa’s lap!
3. Plan to spend at least one day with your loved ones. If you can, take off a few days either before or after as well so that you, and your loved ones, feel like this is a special time of year and a break from your everyday work schedule.
4. Smile often, be happy and share good holiday cheer! It’s contagious!
