Many people find Christmas a stressful time. Here are some ideas to lessen the load!
1) Limit your commitments on Christmas day. Spend most of the day at home relaxing and enjoying the people closest to you.
2) Do exercise! If you have snow and ice enjoy them; play hockey, go sledding, ski, skate and build snow forts. These are great activities for adults and children. If you don't have snow; go for a long walk, ride your bike, play soccer together or create a neighbourhood softball game!
3) Discover laughter. Create opportunities to laugh together; rent a good comedy, play charades or take out an old family board game.
4) Reduce your spending. When the bills pile up we naturally get stressed. Remember that some of the nicest gifts we can give can be made ourselves or be acts of service. My favorite is a foot rub!
Finally, come up with your own list of ways to slow down, relax and enjoy the holidays and post it on your fridge. Peace. TJS
