What did your group(s) do over the holiday season?

The holiday season is a hard time for many groups to get together. People travel, family members are visiting, and so on. Did your group(s) cancel sessions over the holidays, meet as usual, have a holiday celebration with or without partners and friends, or something else entirely?

Sometimes it is good to take a break. This is especially true when you know people are going to be busy. A holiday celebration is a great way to take care of each other and respect holiday needs. Open gatherings with friends, etc... are great ways to keep groups open and identify people interested in joining a group after the new year.

Coaches: At your next meeting check in with facilitators to see how they handeld the holidays. Check to see if groups met, if there were additional social gatherings, and especially if they have better ideas for next year. If they do, take some notes and offer these suggestions early next December.
