Making Tasks Fun
December 20, 2010Last-Minute Christmas
December 23, 2010For all intents and purposes, there are 2 days until Christmas Eve and 3 days of preparation until Christmas.
If you are not on a realistic schedule to finish what you originally planned, it's time to step back.
- Focus your decorations on the rooms you spend your time in. Perhaps the only decorations you'll have this year are a tree and a creche. And that's lovely.
- If your cards aren't done, send them after Christmas.
- Don't stress on gifts for people you aren't going to see until after Christmas.
- Bake the one or two kinds of cookies you love most and leave the rest.
- Make sure you have dinner planned for Christmas Day. It can be tough to find a restaurant open on Christmas and you'd probably rather your dinner not be beans on toast.
- If wrapping is overwlhelming, buy some gift bags and tissue paper. You'll finish in 20 minutes.
Remember, not everything has to be perfect. It just needs to be filled with love.
