Random Seasonal Stuff
Surviving holiday get togethers with lots of people (that are probably relatives that you don't know)
•remember that other people feel the same way
•actually talk to others-holidays are the time to catch up and get to know more about each other
•stick with someone you know or casually walk around amongst different people to say hi or join a conversation
•be grateful-you could be in a dystopian world being attacked or something (though similar situations happen in the world in less fortunate countries so you should always be grateful)
•bring a book or something but don't be too anti social.
WHEN TO BE SOCIAL:
-when someone's talking to you: answer and smile
-when someone's talking about you: smile (if it's a good thing- like when your Mom's being embarrassing, just laugh it off)
-at dinner: say thank you and focus on the people that you're eating with
-when someone's making an announcement: like thanking their guests for coming
-when someone's trying to show you something
WHEN TO DO YOUR OWN THING
-when people are milling about and chatting amongst themselves
-when nothing huge or exciting is going on
•at least there's usually food

This is totally random. I tried to incorporate fandom a bit. I had half of this written and I meant to finish it and upload a long time ago. But for me, the holidays are super busy. So I JUST typed this up fast.
I hope you all enjoy the holidays! ~M
