Have a Holiday on Your Holiday: Part 2 - Roundtable

The second rountable in the holiday series begins with a short summary of the podcast and is followed by a vibrant discussion of these issues: the importance of declining requests without giving justifications (which can inadvertently suggest declining is somehow wrong); making the holiday plan a family exercise whicih means all can have their priority needs met, provides a framework for what we say yes and no to, and which has an educative fucntion for our kids; why we fall sick in the holidays; how justifying why we may say no actually causes disputes - and these disputes then often reverberate over the years; how this topic may be extra-timely as people are very tired given the past few years (the pandemic, Ukraine, climate change, Israel & Gaza etc).
