10 Tips for Enjoying the Holiday

10 Tips for Enjoying the Holiday

1. Rediscover the meaning of the holiday for you personally and decide to celebrate in a way that works for you.
2. Be patient with yourself and do the best you can. There is no perfect holiday, but there are fun ones, meaningful ones, joyful ones, quiet ones.
3. Do what works for you. If you love to decorate, bake, and host the relatives - yay! Enjoy! If you like to curl up with fluffy socks and a mug of hot chocolate all by yourself, that is okay too.
4. Be willing to say no. It's okay if you don't go to every event or can't bake Christmas cookies for your school potluck.
5. Consider alternatives to traditional shopping. Buy online, send baskets, order readymade dishes for entertaining and avoid the madness.
6. Look for ways to outsource, delegate, automate or eliminate.
7. Start a new tradition such as giving to charity or watching a holiday movie.
8. Schedule time just for you or with the people you want to spend time with.
9. Look at the blessings in your life and actively feel grateful.
10. Let go and have some fun.
