tasks that truly matter\u2014here\u2019s a quick list of tips that<strong> will help you avoid stress and focus on the true meaning of the holiday season<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a few minutes to jot down a list of all of the chores that will need to be finished, which includes gift shopping, picking up groceries, or making arrangements to travel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, taking this step means you\u2019ll be able to pick up everything ahead of time and avoid last-minute shopping sprees, late-night trips to the grocer, or hectic holiday weekend crowds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And creating a short list will make it easier, if you expect to invite people into your home, because you\u2019ll have a plan to make sure things stay calm, cool, and under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re focusing on holiday shopping, meticulously preparing to host a busload of guests, or traveling across states\u2014fight the urge to go full steam at every waking moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, take a breather. Attend a yoga session, get a relaxing hot towel shave, book a session at a boutique nail salon, or schedule a holiday hair appointment. The possibilities are limitless!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But know that revitalizing is more important than most people think, so relax and recharge, even if your main motivation is to give yourself the bandwidth to help others enjoy the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"avoid-rushing\"><\/span><strong>Avoid Rushing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rushing doesn\u2019t always help productivity. A lot of the time, it simply leads to headaches or nausea. And it\u2019ll raise your stress levels, which will make people around you feel stressed out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, take your time, regardless of the task at hand. Remember to slow down, steer clear of multitasking, and prioritize all of your tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132136\/Stay-organized-image-600x397-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stay organized\" class=\"wp-image-47894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132136\/Stay-organized-image-600x397-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132136\/Stay-organized-image-600x397-1-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recruit-help\"><\/span><strong>Recruit Help<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the holidays! And that means it\u2019s okay to ask for help. Take a few moments to delegate some of the responsibilities and let your family bond in the experience of making Christmas a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it may sound like a surprise, most people would rather pitch-in, as opposed to watching a host scramble to get things ready or seeing a relative sweat beads while packing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply assign a couple of small tasks, as opposed to silently encouraging loved ones to stand around, while you nervously bite into your Christmas nails or pull out strands of holiday hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"suggest-a-potluck\"><\/span><strong>Suggest a Potluck<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offer to share the work involved with preparing a holiday meal by hosting a pot-luck, which will give everyone involved the chance to eat extra side dishes and try a few new, tasty morsels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking about food is also a great icebreaker for distant relatives, who only see each other every so often. And it does a great job of bringing new family members together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just plan to have your recipes ready, in case someone wants to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-meal.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132159\/Christmas-meal-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Potluck Meal \" class=\"wp-image-47899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132159\/Christmas-meal-600x400-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132159\/Christmas-meal-600x400-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"monitor-spending\"><\/span><strong>Monitor Spending<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The holidays can and will be demanding, which makes it a bad time of year to overspend. Instead, draft a concise budget, then stick to it, or try to stay below that number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By reducing expenses and minimizing costs, you\u2019ll get a gift that keeps on giving this holiday season and well into next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying for everything in cash may help you monitor your spending. Whether it\u2019s in the grocery store or a busy shopping center, keep better track of your funds with cold, hard cash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"create-closet-space\"><\/span><strong>Create Closet Space<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the party\u2019s at your house, know that guests will bring presents, coats, clothing, wine bottles, wheelchairs, walkers, baby strollers, and diapers\u2014just to name a few common, bulky items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a bad idea to make some closet space. And while you\u2019re at it, clear out a shelf in the refrigerator for food and beverages that are best served cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be ready to sacrifice some oven or stovetop space too, especially if some of your guests plan to bring dishes, sides, sauces, or gravy that will need to be cooked or reheated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"give-personalized-gifts\"><\/span><strong>Give Personalized Gifts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help save a little bit of time and money, try giving gifts that will inspire an emotional connection, as opposed to gifting a bunch of items that can be bought at any major mall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holiday cookies are a great idea, because they can be a warm, sweet treat. And old family photos, which can be framed and gift wrapped, will also make for a great gift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This\u2019ll help reduce the amount of time you\u2019ll spend throwing elbows, drowning in a sea of shoppers, or waiting in ridiculously long lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/christmas-cookies.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132223\/christmas-cookies-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cookies for Christmas\" class=\"wp-image-47904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132223\/christmas-cookies-600x400-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132223\/christmas-cookies-600x400-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"care-for-pets\"><\/span><strong>Care for Pets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allergic reactions to dogs or cats are quite common. And even the mildest reaction can take away from the holiday spirit. This year, give pets some space by placing them in an extra room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And before you let your pet sprawl out on a bed or couch for hours this holiday, make him or her earn it. Give them a workout with a quick trip to the park or let them run outside for a bit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tired dog or cat will be a little more likely to enjoy some time alone. If that doesn\u2019t work, plan to have some extra treats on hand to keep pets calm, while they\u2019re away from the festivities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"enjoy-the-holiday\"><\/span><strong>Enjoy the Holiday&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it may seem obvious, this special time of year should be about spending quality time with important people and sharing unforgettable moments, so enjoy it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if anything gets in the way of that enjoyment\u2014feel free to cut it out. Take the time to soak in every precious minute, because this season only comes around once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132243\/Christmas-tree-1200x800-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas tree picture\" class=\"wp-image-47909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132243\/Christmas-tree-1200x800-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132243\/Christmas-tree-1200x800-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132243\/Christmas-tree-1200x800-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06132243\/Christmas-tree-1200x800-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are a short but special time of year, when people come together to eat&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":47914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[191],"class_list":["post-47888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-wellness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
