Relax. Everyone has made an effort to be there. The hosts have really worked hard to welcome you and everyone. It is stressful. Smile and greet everyone.
People are there you don’t know. You are likely nervous, so are they. Welcome everybody assuming best intentions.
No one has changed since last time. Everyone still has their annoying habits. Including you. But we have all learned from living one more year.
Politics are a minefield. Nobody has the same views on everything. Expect them to support other candidates or positions. You are not there to convert them to your views. Besides no one has all the right answers.
We gather to celebrate. Those who made it this year, those who can’t come, and remembering those no longer with us. Sharing success and failures, children, and another year of life.
Success formula for gatherings - Relax, Tolerate, Celebrate and Enjoy
