December 21 is also National Look on the Bright Side.
Yes…same day, same meeting.
After all the griping…ask everyone to “look on the bright side” of the situation.
Make sure they understand this is not to diminish the concerns mentioned earlier, but to involve them in a potential problem-solving process that can be looked at in more depth if necessary after the holiday.
