5 People You Should Win Over This Holiday Season

They say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, but I personally think that homemade cookies are the secret to winning over just about anyone. And let’s face it, this holiday season, we can all use a little extra goodwill in our lives.

As we dive into the festivities, let’s not forget to show appreciation to those who truly enhance our day-to-day experiences. They deserve our gratitude, and, more importantly, they have the power to ensure our future interactions are pleasant—or not—based on how they feel about us. So, here are five people you should butter up this festive season for some sweet rewards down the line…

1. The Gatekeeper

This individual is the one who answers the phone at the office, school, or daycare. They are the gatekeepers of information, and having their favor can make your life a breeze or a total nightmare.

2. The Neighbors

They see you in your pajamas making that mad dash to the recycling bin, and they’ve likely witnessed your kids running wild in the yard. After everything they’ve seen (and heard), it’s only polite to extend a little kindness their way.

3. The Medical Team

From pediatricians to dentists, these professionals have seen it all—from your most vulnerable moments to your child’s embarrassing rashes. A little goodwill can go a long way in ensuring they prioritize your concerns when you need them most.

4. The School Crew

Sure, the teachers are on your gratitude list, but don’t forget about the nurses, office staff, and even the carpool monitor. They have the ability to smooth over any bumps in the road when it comes to your child’s school experience.

5. The Delivery Driver

Especially during the holiday rush, your delivery person is the one ensuring your online shopping arrives safely at your doorstep. A little appreciation can go a long way in making their rounds a bit brighter.

So what are you waiting for? Put on that apron and whip up some treats! It’ll be worth it, I promise!
