Community Manager Posts: 275 The Mix Regular
Hey lovely people!
The social media team are working on a post about growing up in diverse and separated family units and navigating the dynamics that come along with that at Christmas time, or any other religious celebration. We’d love to include advice from the community to provide a wide range of perspectives and we were hoping some of you would like to get involved.
All we need is 2-3 sentences of advice on how you approach the festive season.
For example:
You can also share tips on managing family conflicts, getting to know new family members, or setting expectations around gifting with extended circles. Whatever feels most authentic and helpful to you!
The only thing to note is that you’d need to be comfortable with us sharing your quote on socials along with your age.
If you’re interested, let us know ASAP, and be ready to send over your contribution by the end of next week (29/11). Please don't hesitate to DM The Mix account or email us at community@themix.org.uk if that feels more comfy than commenting below.

“For me, setting boundaries with my different family units about my availability is key. I can’t be everywhere at Christmas, and that’s okay! Instead, I plan time throughout December so I can still relax and enjoy the festive period.”
