There are exactly 2 weeks
until Christmas Eve!
Does that stress you
out?
We’re right in the thick of
it!!!
What
is causing you stress this holiday season?
Go ahead,
make a list……
Maybe you
haven’t started your Christmas shopping… or are having trouble finding
something for that last person on your list?
Have the holiday treats staring piling up on your front door? Are the holiday parties and activities
filling up every night of your week? Did
you go over-budget?...
Here are a couple of our favorite holiday stress relievers…
“Quiet
time with the Christmas Tree” Appreciate the little things we love
about the holidays… like spending the evening cuddled up on the couch watching
cheesy Hallmark movies by the light of the Christmas tree. There are so many little things about this
time of year to appreciate. What is your
favorite thing about the season?
“White
Space” Is your calendar crammed with night after night… after night
holiday activities? Don’t cram so much
into the holidays that you can’t enjoy them.
Be sure and schedule free-time, some down time to do nothing but enjoy
the lit up Christmas tree. Don’t be
afraid to say ‘no’ to that extra holiday party.
“Make
your list and check it twice!” Prioritize your holiday activities. What is most important to you? Use your priority list to make a plan. Organize your ‘to do’
list so you have some direction as you navigate the busy holiday season.
“Buddy the Elf” What do we all love about Buddy the
Elf?
He is such a positive person, just rolls
with the punches and MAKES US LAUGH! Let’s not forget to laugh at the funny things
this holiday season and even the not so funny things…if nothing seems to be
going right (we all have those days!) just laugh about it. There’s no reason to stress over things we
can’t control.
“Watch
Your Wallet” Watch your wallet so you don’t get pick-pocketed….and make
your holiday budget and stick to it.
There are lots of great ways to save money like shopping holiday sales, making homemade bread, rolls or
jam for your neighbors, making homemade
heartfelt gifts, take your family to the dollar store to purchase family gifts…this
could be very entertaining!
