Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. However, I’ve also noticed that Christmas can bring a lot of stress or to people for various reasons. Today I’m sharing a few tips to get you through this holiday season. These are tips that you can use on a daily basis well after the holiday season is over and done with.

Plan

I can’t stress the importance of how important it is to plan out your holiday season I am not perfect by any means however I’ve noticed that planning definitely does make things a lot easier and take the stress off of you. If you have a hard time finding the perfect dress for all of the holiday parties that you're invited to, purchase multiple dresses. I know that this may sound a little strange. However, it's better to have multiple options, than to wait last minute, and you just feel like not attending the event due to feeling overwhelmed. Just remember that when you purchase those items, make sure that you can possibly wear them to another event if needed. If you struggle with being a last minute shopper. Create a printable monthly spread, showcasing the deadline and budget you have to purchase the gift for each person. When it's time to go shopping, you have already broken down your list, and know who you're going to by for. I highly would suggest not having anything on your task list or to do list a week before Christmas just so that frees up time for you to do the stuff that you love maybe. This could be going to the spa and maybe is having a countdown and/or creating an advent calendar with your family prior to the holidays.

Know Your Triggers

It’s so important to know your triggers throughout the holiday season do you get stressed out when you have to do stuff last minute do you not like being around crowds do you prefer to not overextend yourself. It’s just so important to know what triggers you and I feel that a lot of people find themselves stressed out during the holiday season because they overextend themselves. Don’t be afraid to say no to people if being, if last-minute holiday shopping stresses you out and you're really triggered to the point where you don't even feel like celebrating the holidays, take a moment to step back, and reflect on the situation. What's caused you to be stressed out. What could you do differently?

Learn To Say No

It’s so important to know when to say no and how to say no I feel like a lot of times we overextend ourselves and you're unable to accomplish the goals that you have due to saying yes to everything and everyone. Really sit down prior to committing to something, ask yourself if he’s going to bring more stress on more joy to your holiday spirit.

I'm excited about the official start of the holiday season. One of my family traditions is putting our Christmas tree up a day after Thanksgiving. This is a tradition that my mom did growing up, and I naturally incorporated into my family traditions. Though, I may change this tradition in the future. Because honestly struggle each year with waiting that extra couple of weeks until I put up my tree. However, I'm thankful that I actually waited this year, because November feels as if it flew by. I'm happy that I had the New Limited Edition Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Sugar Cookie Muffins to give me the holiday season taste.


This year I'm looking forward to is leaving Santa, a nice cold glass of milk paired with Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Sugar Cookie Muffins. I'm so excited about this seasonal treat hitting the shelves this holiday season for the first time. These are actually the Mister's favorite flavor. He's really picky, and not much of a snacker, and I've already added the Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Sugar Cookie Muffins on my next shopping list. I love that they bring the classic taste holiday sugar cookie into a new mini muffin form. Plus, they're only 190 calories per pouch, and of course, they don't contain high fructose corn syrup or trans-fat. I plan on bringing a couple of boxes with me this Thanksgiving.  I conveniently found them at my local Walmart, and they were fully stocked. I can't wait until my next shopping trip! and of course, I'll have some with me during Black Friday!
