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.
