Don't allow the festive season spirit to undo all your good work

With the festive season now in full swing it can be easy to overlook behaviours that we would not have accept a few weeks ago. For some reason we can think that because it is the season of goodwill its fine to ignore inappropriate behaviours so as not to upset others. Unfortunately that can just set a bad example.
Behaviour that is not okay two weeks ago should not be okay now. Letting it go is saying that it is okay. This creates confusion because there is no consistency and it is difficult to establish the boundary so that others can understand what they can and cannot do. If they get away with it now then it will create the unrealistic expectation that it is okay to continue to do it in the future.
Just because it is the festive season does not allow others to disregard others rights or behaviour badly and action needs to be taken. Ensure that behavioural expectations are maintain so you do not undermine all the good work setting up proper boundaries on behaviour that has been built up over the year.
