Super Awesome Side Note: Before we start, understand we will not claim contested truths. And we will refrain from falling into the trap of “teaching man-made ideas as commands from the Creator.”

Out of respect for believers, we will simply acknowledge the multiplicity of views on this subject (the keyword is “acknowledge” and not agree). That said, this is a non-exhaustive list. So use this list to do further research.

***SUPER AWESOME SIDE NOTE: This post was *hacked* to make me look like typos are my friend. I forgive whomever did this. God is watching you.

Super Psst… the big secret I’ve been hinting around on social media for a few months now – is revealed… (it’s why I have been MIA for a bit…). Read on after this post for the juicy details.

Sound delightful? Okay, Ladies. Let’s start!

1. Listen more than you talk

To increase your chances of surviving a holiday gathering in 2023, it is important to listen more than you speak.

As you find yourself amid mixed company, you’ll meet a whirlwind of conflicting points of view. For instance, imagine being aware that someone is oblivious to the scientific name for the “common cold” as stated in the 12th edition of the American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Diseases. In this situation, resist the urge to correct them when they share false information.

Most individuals in casual settings do not appreciate being corrected in front of others. So, it’s best to keep peace by simply listening, especially when the conversation turns into a heated topic that could ignite intense emotions within you. As the saying goes, “a fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.” Keep this in mind as you navigate through your holiday gathering, ensuring your survival.

2. Honor Fellow Guests | Surviving Holiday Party Tips

Your adeptness in showing respect towards others, particularly believers who recognize the accomplished mission of Yeshua the Messiah (also known as Christ Jesus), propels your likelihood of conquering a festive gathering. Amidst a diverse assembly of both believers and nonbelievers, shower them all with love and affection (including nonbelievers). This diminishes any tension and enhances your capacity to navigate the holiday event harmoniously.

❤ Extra Side Note: Remember, you are saved by faith alone in the finished work of Christ, so you must model His love to others (psst… sometimes His love is tough). Study historical biblical scriptures for verses about who you should actually honor.

3. Watch Your Mouth

Just like being a better listener, you can effectively navigate holiday parties by being mindful of what you say.

Imagine being at a festive gathering, where a fellow guest shares scandalous office rumors. In the heat of the moment, you join in, only to feel a deep sense of guilt later. Intense emotions accompanied this guilt, and you realize that you may have jeopardized your reputation as a follower of Messiah Yeshua in front of those who do not believe.

In the scenario above, the consequences of not watching your mouth are both immediate and everlasting. To avoid such outcomes, exercise wisdom by being mindful of the words you speak.

Research ❤ Psalm 26:4, Ecclesiastes 10:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:22

4. Dress Appropriately

You significantly enhance your likelihood of excelling at holiday parties when you dress appropriately. This gesture serves as a testament to your respect for the host’s party guidelines.

Imagine attending a formal black-tie affair, where the air is filled with the scent of elegant perfumes and the soft rustle of luxurious fabrics. In such an environment, showing up in casual jeans and a tee would be completely out of place, jeopardizing your reputation. Dressing for the occasion allows you to uphold a favorable image. After all, no woman in Christ wishes to be known as someone with poor fashion sense. Right?

5. Follow the Host’s Lead

You can effortlessly navigate and master any holiday party by watching and following the host’s cues.

As an illustration, imagine the party table, devoid of any place settings. Without clarifying, you confidently choose the best seat, only to be abruptly requested by the host to move in front of the entire gathering. The sudden attention leaves you feeling utterly mortified as your face flushes crimson. You could have avoided this embarrassing moment had you simply sought guidance from the host.

Remember, to avert such humiliation, always take the lead from the host.

6. Use self-control

You can become the master of holiday gatherings by exercising self-control.

Picture this: you are the center of attention, captivating everyone with your charming presence. Laughter fills the air, mingling with the delightful aroma of festive treats. But suddenly, you realize that you unintentionally overshadowed the host’s moment to shine. It’s not a pleasant feeling, is it?

This instance above illustrates how a lack of self-control can cause unnecessary irritation for the host. To avoid such mishaps, it is crucial to use self-control during these occasions.

❤ Super Awesome Side Note: I use the term “holiday party” because there is no way in the world I could know the real name of your gathering. It could be a fancy office Christmas party or New Year’s Eve gathering or something else around the Christmas season. I have no clue. So the term “holiday party” is only a general term. That being said, these tips can be used at any party year-round.
