33 Ways to Enjoy Highly Relational Holidays

If you’re like most people, the coming holiday season will be either the best time of the year or the worst time of the year … and it will probably depend on the quality of your relationships.

To help you make this the best season ever, we’ve compiled thirty-three of our most popular blog posts, all of which apply to the special but often stressful interactions you and I experience during the holidays.

All you have to do is create a daily task or reminder on your phone or computer and copy the list of posts into the notes section (or receive daily posts through Twitter or Facebook). As the reminder pops up and you read one post a day between now and Christmas, you’ll be surprised how often you find immediate applications to your life.

If you’d like to help others in your family, church or workplace enjoy a more joyful holiday season as well, please share this compilation with them via email, Facebook, or Twitter … or even your church newsletter.

The more you and those around you practice relational wisdom over the next month, the more likely you are to experience the peace and closeness we all long for during this special time of the year.

It will take you less than five minutes a day to read a post and pray about how to weave these principles into your relationships … a small investment that could make this the most peaceful, joyful and Christ-centered holiday season ever!

Spanglish

Today’s movie clip is one of my favorites. It illustrates several key relational skills, including empathy, self-control, and the use of perceptive questions rather than forceful arguments. The clip is taken from the movie, Spanglish. Its central character, Flor, is a...

The Golden Result

We all know the Golden Rule: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” But do you know the Golden Result? “Other people will usually treat you the way you treat them.” Not always, but usually. Because that’s how our brains are wired. Here is a short movie clip...
