Spills happen. And once they have happened, they have already happened. Yes, there’s a mess and maybe even a broken glass. But there’s no use crying or screaming about the spilled milk (or honey). You can just clean it up and move on. Or even laugh. Cuz when we make mistakes, adding insult or grief really doesn’t help the situation or even the learning for the next time.

Something will spill over the holidays. Turn it into a laughable family memory (or non-event), not a stressful moment.
