What Are You Noticing This Holiday Season?

The holiday season is officially here, and with it comes a whirlwind of emotions. Are you noticing how you’re feeling as the days grow shorter and the festivities ramp up?

For some, this time of year brings excitement—holiday traditions, joyful gatherings, and the magic of sparkling lights. For others, it can be overwhelming, with long to-do lists, tight schedules, and the pressure to make everything perfect.

Amid the hustle and bustle, are you taking a moment to pause? Maybe it’s noticing the beauty of fresh snow falling, the glow of decorations, or the warmth of connecting with loved ones. These small moments of wonder can be grounding and comforting.

At the Foothill Fetal Alcohol Society (FFAS), we understand that the holidays can be a mixed bag of joy and challenges, especially for those impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and their caregivers. But the truth is, the season is complex for everyone, and that’s okay.

We’d love to know—what are you noticing this season? Whether it’s joy, stress, or something in between, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s support one another and celebrate the season in all its beauty and imperfection. We are here.🌟
