season, and with that comes traditions
and family gatherings! Can you remem- contest
ber a time during the holiday season
where you participated in a family tradi-
tion? Or even created a new one? Family
traditions during the holidays are great
for our mind, body, and spirit. This can
be accomplished in many ways through
connection with friends and family, while
providing a sense of grounding and re-
lief during the chaos of the holiday sea-
son. Our brains thrive on structure and
familiarity, the moments and joy and
togetherness become great memories
that evoke a feeling of nostalgia, which
is an emotion linked to happiness and
improved mood. If you are adopting new
traditions however, it may make you feel
a little uncomfortable with feelings of
loss when changing long-held customs.
Let’s look at some holiday traditions
that you might want to implement and
how to do so that you and your loved
ones can embrace the change.
Making holiday sweets are some of
the most popular traditions and should
be enjoyed in moderation, but creating
a twist on classic dishes can inspire new
recipes that are both healthy and fun to
make. A great example would be am-
