I remember a holiday years ago when I was too tired to enjoy the festivities. I remember another holiday in years back when another family member was similarly exhausted. After that exhausted holiday, I lessened the holiday have-to's and had many energized holidays after that. Now in a new life stage, I run the challenge of exhaustion during the holidays if I don't make some good decisions now about what we'll do and what we don't do.
Busy House
Our house will be filled with people throughout the holiday season so it's important to get ready now with sufficient food, places for people to sleep, and comfort zones for relaxation and celebration.
Gifts
We don't give a lot of gifts, but it's important to get the gifts we hope to give.
Cooking
Time to choose the recipes and menus for holiday events, and then time to buy the ingredients.
Clothes
Readying the holiday clothes is important too.
Healthy Schedule
That's important too.
