The holiday season is truly my favorite time of the year, and with it, the chaos of the holidays. Here's a few simple tips I have to best enjoy the season:
1. Appreciate the little things
It's amazing what joy you can find in the smallest things! That warm cup of cocoa, decorating the tree, watching the lights twinkle outside. The little things are the ones that count and you remember most.
2. Take your time and don't take on too much
During the holidays, it's practically natural instinct to take on more than you can handle, all so it can be the best it can be. But that can hurt you in the long run if you can't complete it all! Only take on what you think matters most (making cookies, wrapping presents with paper made by you, etc.) Focus and put your time into what's top priority to you and don't rush from thing to thing.
3. Create new traditions
While I love old traditions, it can be just as fun to create new ones! Decorate gingerbread houses with friends and family? Do something a bit different this time around: have a decorating contest, decorate a gingerbread Christmas village, make the gingerbread house from scratch. Make sure to take photos of the new memories made!
