Well, maybe not totally stress-free, because that’s impossible, right? However, with a little extra planning, you can reduce your stress and enjoy the holidays with your family! Check out these ideas for a stress-free holiday!
Plan ahead
Spend a few minutes here and there before the holidays planning dates for special meals, outings with the family, and parties with the neighbors. Get all the dates on the calendar so you are ready for the month!
12 Days of Christmas
Rather than planning advent activities for every day of December, keep your list down to 12! It will be much easier to manage 12 activities with your preschooler instead of 24. Choose activities that you can do at any time and won’t matter if you skip a day.
Say no to a few more things
Don’t try to take on everything this holiday season. Don’t commit yourself or your children to every single festive activity. Set aside family time at home and remember to take time for yourself. You’ll have more energy to give your family and more time to create special memories.
Have realistic expectations
Remember that it won’t all be perfect, so be understanding of others and flexible with your schedule. Let things go if you have to and take time to enjoy the craziness of the season!
Play with your kids
When you’re feeling the stress, take a time out and play on the floor with your preschooler. Kids always have a way of making things fun. Play a game or play with their toys in order to settle your mind.
Ask for help
Don’t try to finish out the holiday season trying to do it all on your own! Ask your preschoolers to jump in an help with cleaning or gift wrapping. Let family pitch in with cooking and contributing to your special meals!
Take a few extra moments to remember what the holiday season is all about and you’ll have a stress-free holiday!
