Why My Special Rituals Will Bring Joy To Your Life

There can never be too many special moments

It’s safe to safe I’m “the disruptor” in my family. Not in the “innovative, ground-breaking, future-shaping” sense of the word. No, I literally mean I’m a moody brat who causes ninety-nine percent of all arguments.

Not because I want to; we argue because, whilst I’m all about the details that make the festive season special — the lights, the food, the ornaments, the games — my family think “the important thing is that we’re all together.” Sure, but let’s not forget to plan a full month of fun guys.

Luckily, I recently learned, according to anthropologists, humans have long created rituals to bring them a semblance of control, and reduce anxiety. So, yes, I am going to milk the fact that rituals have a health benefit to my advantage this Christmas. Grab the glitter fam, things are about to get festive!
