Take Charge of Your Holiday Season
I don’t know about you, but for me, once we pass Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays sort of all run together in a blur of hustle and bustle. We can barely get rid of all of the Thanksgiving leftovers before it’s time for another party and another party, and then a huge Christmas dinner and then blink and the New Year is upon us. So with that in mind, I decided last year to be a bit more organized and methodical in my methods of getting through the holiday season this year.
In order to get a head start on the holidays, I have already begun the planning and have even executed some of my plans. When you pop over to my blog, you will notice I have included dates of completion on my list. With dates in place, I will not have the option to procrastinate. I
While you are making your list, be sure to include a day for just “you.” Maybe schedulel an appointment at the spa to have a massage and/or mani/pedi. Finish your shopping early and spend some time in the Christmashustle and bustle with your spouse just window shopping while holding hands and watching everyone else rushing about at the last minute.
How about a relaxed movie night with your Christmasfamily, or a night with the family where everyone chips in and helps to prep for dinner for the big day(s). Bake cookies, not because you have to because of an event you may have forgotten or been coerced in to. You may even want to include the entire family in on making your holiday checklist.

Great ideas. We cook as a family during the Holidays that way on the day of we can all sit down and enjoy each other/dinner without being burnout from all the cooking done on the night before.

Hi Lory and thank you. I like the way you and your family work the holiday meals out. That's a win win for everyone. Our family has always passed the torch. First my grandmother, then my mama, and then me. I am still waiting for my daughter to take the torch, but she's generation X and we are still waiting. :) I hope you and your family have a fabulous and peaceful holiday season.
