The holiday Season for me is a special time. I love this season, the tree, the lights, the cooking, the smells, everything. I am the person who is out in the cold on Thanksgiving weekend putting up lights. I cook for my whole family on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is the two times a year when no matter what is going on the family comes together. Being the oldest this tradition was passed from my late mother to me, and I love carrying on this tradition and bring the family together under one roof.
Family is one of the most precious gifts you have to be grateful for. And every year when we come together and I see how the young members have grown into adults and the new members that were born into the family that year, in my heart I feel my mothers joy as she looks down at her family..
So no matter what is going on in my life, during this time of the year I stand still long enough to count my blessing and remind myself of what is important. And for me, this does the trick and I come out of the Holiday Season with a path forward into the New Year.

I have a question for you, I would like to know what your views are.
I am in a situation where everybody takes advantage of me, work, husband, sister, friends everyone.
My question is what can I do to make them stop.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Think about this for a moment. We've been taught that getting the job, the relationship, the house, or some other want will bring us happiness. What often happens, once a dream is achieved, is that the happiness we longed to feel is fleeting at best, and then we quickly find ourselves thinking, "What else can I get to make me happy?" This thinking doesn't serve us. After all, how many times have we read tragic stories about the rich and famous, people who have money galore and every material desire, but still happiness eludes them.
So, the answer is not to stop dreaming and achieving our heartfelt desires, but rather to experience happiness on a more consistent basis -- to enjoy the journey. Here's another secret how you can do this -- treat yourself to some small, harmless indulgence on a regular basis.
If you do this, you are saying "yes" to happiness right now, not tomorrow or the day after, or 10 years from now. You are also expanding the positive energy around you. When this happens, you begin attracting people, situations, and material wealth like a magnet right to your side.
When you have a happy and positive frame of mind, you set in motion opportunities that will enable you to achieve the things you want most of all.
