'Tis the season to be thankful, in another month to be jolly, and, if you're still not convinced, a whole new year right around the corner to try again if things don't work out for you through this year's holiday season! Holiday times for children of newly divorced parents are often the toughest time of year. They often have strong emotional attachments to days gone by when Mom, Dad, their brothers and sisters and they all cheerfully ate too much turkey and sang off-key holiday carols together.

Just hold hands while watching a movie or just rest over the shoulder of your partner when he or she is reading. Cuddle each other in whatever way you can. It is just another way of saying that you care and love your partner.
