Before the holidays, to put it mildly, I’m kind of a Christmas elf on steroids. There are goodies to be baked, cards to be sent, traditional activities to be knocked out, and presents (oh, so many presents) to be bought and wrapped.
I realize I’m not singing a song no one’s heard before. Parents know, all too well, the “magic of Christmas” doesn’t simply materialize out of thin air. It’s a lot of extra baggage put on our already full plates, but we put our heads down and grind it out because that’s what we signed up for.
Do we have to do it all? Of course not. Could we collectively ease off the holiday freight train and scale back a bit? Ideally, yes. Will anyone with kids actually follow through and not be riddled with guilt? Absolutely not.
During the holidays we mutate into unstable versions of Buddy the Elf to mastermind those fond memories for our families. Luckily, I’ve ironed out a methodical science to facilitate my holiday lunacy. Then, when it comes time for the big showdown, I can actually exit the crazy train and enjoy the destination.
- Make lists. Make lists of lists you need to make. In other words, write it all down. Once something pops into my head I need to accomplish it will swim around, pestering me, until I write it down. As soon as the task is solidified in black and white I feel as if it instantaneously becomes manageable. You can plan ahead, you know it’s coming, and you can relish in that sweet, sweet victory of crossing it off.
- Build a better relationship with your UPS deliverer…by having them drop off packages daily. All my holiday shopping is done online. It can be done whenever I have a spare moment, I don’t have to drive anywhere (Why, yes, I think I will stay in my pjs today), and it doesn’t involve schlepping cranky kids into busy stores. Done and done.
- Plan ahead for never having time or energy to cook. Before a busy holiday season I will double up recipes and freeze half. Meals such as meatloaf, chili, and casseroles freeze well to thaw the night before and reheat. We get so wrapped up planning big holiday meals, we forget we actually have to eat in the interim time. Or we easily become too focused on hosting parties, we fail to realize houseguests will need nourishment the next morning.
