Preparing for the holidays: Guest Blog Post 🎄
Nobody loves Christmas more than I do. Well, nobody I know, anyway.
In past years I have literally filled our family's stockings with oodles of gifts that add up to the same value as their actual Christmas gifts, and that can get me into a bit of post-holiday trouble. How much giving is too much?
Do you love to give personalized, hand-selected gifts to the people you love but feel overwhelmed and stressed when asked to cook for the whole family? Do you love to bake and decorate Christmas cookies but do not seem to possess the ability to wrap an Instagram-worthy gift?
If you are like me and tend to overdo holidays a bit and struggle in any of the following ways:
Can I just have a little peace?
How much giving is too much?
Made from scratch or made by someone else?
Wrap for "WOW" or bless with less?
Finding a quiet space of your own.

Above all, remember to breathe deep, share abundant love, and hold your tongue when you inevitably get triggered. When the holiday is over and everyone is home, you'll be glad you did your part to keep the peace.
Have a Very Merry Christmas!
With love,
Donna
