We asked some We Are Family members and volunteers to share their thoughts, insights and tips about managing this time of year, and helping the whole family to have a ‘good’ Christmas. Whilst we know all children and families are different, we hope that you might find some food for thought, support, a different perspective, or space to reflect on these ideas.
