Riassunto

Do you wish you could create a really fantastic Christmas experience for your kids but you don’t really know where to start? Do you feel conflicted, because you feel like it’s all too religious or not religious enough and you don’t feel like you’re hitting the spot you want to hit in the middle of all the cultural confusion?

Get Christmased 2014: Create the Christmas season that works for you and your family is a workbook that leads you through all the steps you need to create a December that feels good to you. Safe for Christians, atheists, Jewish people, anyone of any belief system who wants to create a more meaningful experience for the whole Christmas season.

You know you need it. You can have it. "The Get Christmased Workbook is a wonderful tool to help guide you through the holiday season. As a parent in an interfaith family, we often have to wade through the issues of Christmases past for me, and nonChristmases past for my Jewish husband. Add our Jewish children in the mix and my Christian family, life gets complex. By putting forth a series of guided questions, Magda Pecsenye's workbook allowed me to examine what is truly important to me as a parent and person during the Christmas season. I am able to move toward this year's holiday season without the fear and tension (okay with less tension) of the past. This exercise does take some time, but it is well worth it to stop and really examine what the meaning of November and December should be for yourself. The best part is that there are no wrong answers." -- Nancy W. Boston MA "The Get Christmased Family Workbook felt like it was written just for me. I love Christmas but each year I feel like i'm struggling to regain my childhood joy and wonder from underneath a pile of obligations and stress. This year after doing the workbook I feel like i have a plan, I know what I can get done and what I can let go. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving instead of feeling like I haven't prepared enough. Once I went through the workbook I discovered a few things stressing me out that I hadn't realized were adding to my stress, and was able to decide how to deal with them so I didn't have that underlying stress (hint: family drama). I highly recommend this workbook if you feel overwhelmed or stressed by the holiday season!" --Leah C.

L'autore:

I'm Magda Pecsenye and I write AskMoxie.org. I think parenting is the one thing that brings most of us to our knees. It's so important and so difficult-yet-simple that there's no way to ever feel like you're doing everything The Right Way. But I think most of us ARE doing it right on a minute-by-minute basis when we pay attention to ourselves and our kids and focus on maintaining a good relationship. I think you already have everything in you that you need or will ever need to be a great parent. You are the best parent for your child.
