How To Survive the Holidays

Here are some of my tips for surviving the Holidays:

It will make you smile and feel good and it's realistic too.
For example, one of the pages says,
"Calling the Season what it really is - Cold and Flu Season."

Do watch the movie Elf at least once with your family.
 Also, watch some Cheesy Romantic Holiday Hallmark Movies too.
There are lots to choose from on Neflix, Amazon prime,
and a Hallmark TV channel app too.


Sip some Hot Chocolate.
If you aren't exercising regularly.
Start now. Don't wait until 2018.
Walking, Running, Biking, etc.
Ask your friends what they do to exercise.
See if you can join them.
Look into different classes, and gyms near you.
Lots of communities have city rec exercise classes
that are more affordable than gyms.
Look for something you can start now.
It's more important than making homemade ornaments.


Follow the #LightTheWorld Calendar.
It is a nice way to bring
the true Meaning of Christmas
into your home.
Don't overdue it though.
You can feel overwhelmed quickly if you try to do it all.
Just pick 5 of your favorite ideas.

The New Era magazine has the best, simple ideas for each day.
The Friend magazine has a star advent you can use too!
Light the World

Use Facebook, Instagram, and Social Media less this Month.
Everyone's traditions, homes, ideas, fashion, pictures, etc.
will look AMAZING and you might start to feel bad or overwhelmed.
Most of it is edited, and dare I say, maybe even a bit Fake.
Just use social media a little less this season and bake these cookies instead.
These cookies are really easy to make.
No refrigerating dough ahead of time.
No rolling out sugar cookie dough.
No messy flour.
No cutting out cookies.
Cutting out sugar cookies always sounds fun,
until you are in the middle of a huge flour mess
with too many children in your kitchen.
No having to frost either.

DO LESS THIS SEASON.
Take one thing (or more)
off your December to do list this year.
Maybe it's cards, or matching pj's, or
gingerbread houses, or homemade presents or ornaments, etc.

Good Luck,
Ready or Not Here Comes December!
