How to get everything done before Christmas and have Happy Holidays this year
How do I get everything done before Christmas?
We refer to this time of year as ‘happy holidays.’ I am sometimes sorely tempted to say ‘bah—humbug’ when I see everyone rushing around in a frenzy. But how do we get everything done before Christmas?Finish before Christmas
People are less patient in queues…I’ve been nearly side swiped several times by people cutting in to traffic. Their haste to get somewhere is making them dangerous on the road. The stress of last-minute shopping is compounded by Christmas preparations. Finish before Christmas
On top of all that, we insist on catching up with everyone we haven’t seen for months before the end of the year.
Slow down! There are various practical ways to get everything done before Christmas.
Contact people and tell them you will catch up in the new year – that way at least you have made contact. Finish before Christmas
Minimise gift giving by giving everyone similar gifts. For example, a bottle of wine, movie tickets or gifts that keep on giving (ie Oxfam for people in Third World Countries).
Forget about getting the house in perfect order. Visitors are coming to see you, not your house. They don’t care about the odd cobweb (in fact they probably won’t even see it).
