It
is the happiest of times and the busiest of times! The holiday season is
here! Sharing a few ideas to help you celebrate this special time of
year!
Choose One
Whether is
it choosing gifts, baking holiday cookies or sending Christmas cards, we often
have complicated choices. Choose one biggie and make it your
best. Simplicity is a powerful way to do your best and
de-stress.
Also,
think about taking one task off your list this year. Throughout the year
we are busy, and the holidays are extra busy. Take off that one
task you dislike the most, you are least prepared for, or one you can delegate
easily.

Share the Joy
Holiday
time is filled with ways to share time and tasks. Partner with family
members to get tasks done, such as wrapping gifts, baking, or decorating.
Put aside perfectionism so your partners can be creative and have fun.
These moments make the holiday most memorable.
Think
of others to share the joy too! Set a time and date in the next few weeks for
family decluttering. This is the perfect time to declutter with your kids
help. Have them help you load the car and go with you to donate
too. Used toys in good condition are appreciated by Goodwill now and
all year long.
Spend Time with People, Not Preparations
Nurture
time with family and friends at this time of year. Set a date and create
a simple gathering with those who are most important. Time together
can be a visit to a museum, a picnic in a park, or a watching a holiday movie
together. Here is where the true joy of the season really shines.
