Reason for the season: DSST staff share recipes, traditions that bring them joy for the holidays
Continuing family traditions and customs during the holiday season is a powerful way to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. Whether it's decorating the tree together, sharing a special meal or telling stories passed down through generations, these rituals offer a sense of continuity and connection to the past. They provide comfort and stability, especially during times of change or stress, and help to cultivate a shared identity within the family.
