“This year will be different. I vow I won’t get stressed out over presents, parties, cards, Christmas plays, putting up the tree and decorating, and all the many other tasks of the season.
Do you find that all the Christmas chores steal your joy?
How can we recapture the joy and the simplicity of the first Christmas?
1. Don't get caught up in the commercialism of Christmas.
2. Do the things that give you the most pleasure and joy.
3. Do things to pamper yourself over the holidays.
4. Visualize how you would like the holidays to go.
5. Do as many things as you can early.
6. Listen to soothing music and watch funny shows because they put us in a good mood.
7. Take shortcuts.
8. Plan something fun to do the week after Christmas so that you don't feel any post Christmas let down.
