Christmas is always full of Christmas traditions! While having one or two traditions is wonderful, having too many can leave you tired , stressed out and broke! If you are feeling this way maybe it’s time to let go of some of those traditions and focus on the few that mean the most.
Spending time with family and friends is the most important thing. What food is cooked is not as important as just enjoying a meal with your family and friends. Making lots of different cookies and candies can also be expensive and exhausting! Why not just focus on one type of cookie or candy and double the recipe. Buy some card and board games to play after all the food is eaten. Make the day very simple and relaxing for everyone!
By now most people have bought all their gifts and have them wrapped. But for next year think about doing a family or friend experience together! Buy a season family pass to the Zoo or a museum. Plan a vacation to a small town that goes all out at Christmas and looks like a Christmas movie! Somewhere new to celebrate Christmas!
Most of all just try to relax!It will be a great Christmas no matter how you celebrate!
