The season being a source of sadness or even flare-ups of depression for many, celebrating the holidays with activities is a must for most anyone. Simple experiences like tasting traditional food like egg nog, sweets, and cider can blend with festive meal extravaganzas with family and friends. Making a point to decorate and celebrate lighting ceremonies from your apartment mantles to the civic square is seasonal treasure. Bustling retail is excitement for penniless window shoppers, generous gift givers, and busy workers. For times suited for relaxation, try January for commercial and schedule repose. Invite your brother's family for something simple at your place just for family togetherness, and start asking the invitation now and well in advance for a special relatedness.
