How To Have A Stress-Free Holiday

Is Christmas seriously here already? It seems like March was yesterday and New Years Eve was last week. Where has this year gone? Although the silly season has already crept up on us for 2016, it doesn’t have to be a stressful time. We have compiled a list of how to have a stress-free holiday this silly season! Be prepared to feel utterly and completely Christmas calm this weekend! Here’s how:

The Gift List

Cut it. We know that everyone deserves a good gift. Even your cousin’s girlfriends friends baby. However, Christmas shopping has got to be one of the main causes of stress / anxiety / breakdowns around Christmas time, and you know what we say? Forget it! Organize a Secret Santa or Kris Kringle amongst your family. Organize presents that “give back” (For Example, donating money for a village to buy a goat or water). That’s not a joke either, and we are being serious.

Dish Washing

It’s just not happening this year. If you are hosting the Christmas party, here’s a tip. Use paper everything. Get your kids to walk around with a trash can after the event and have everyone pile their paper in the trash bag. Impressing guests with your good china is everything (sometimes), but they don’t have to clean it so … paper here we come!

Christmas Thank You’s

The traditional gesture was to send everyone a card. This is super great when you have nothing else to do but let’s be honest – your hand hurts and you don’t have time. Why not call the person? Reach out and say thank you, offer to catch up for a coffee. Do not text or message through social media; it defeats the point.

Buy Your Food

Even suggesting this is probably horrific to some but seriously, buy your food this year. It’s so much more relaxing on the day, and no one even has to know! Just put the store bought food in bowls and on plates, and you will be good to go!

There you have it – how to have a stress-free holiday season is not THAT hard. Visit Dominion Ridge this week and weekend for some last minute gift ideas
