FOR A FULL RECAP listen to our conversation here on itunes.

For short bullet points…

Plan!
- Look at your schedule now. As a couple, we have a weekly meeting to look at our calendars, but this is especially true at the holidays. Consider picking a WORD you want to dwell on during the holidays.
Make a Holiday Bucket List
- Don’t make it too long so you feel bad when you don’t do these things, but this may help you more task oriented family members - like my husband. It gives you grace to do these things when you get around to them.
Decorate for the winter not just christmas!
- Great ideas from The Lazy Genius
- Pick decorations that can transfer from November - January with just switching out a few things.
Shop early.
- Maybe you want to make amazon lists at the year goes on to add things as you think of it.
- The last minute guilt gift purchases are usually the worst & expensive.
- Think about February when you give
Sabbath
- try to intentionally rest on day - especially during the holidays! It will make you more productive on your work days too.
12 days of Christmas.
- What if Christmas Day wasn’t the end of the celebration, but just the beginning?! I always feel guilty about not feeling Christmasy enough come Christmas - & I hate how it is supposed to be done early. I think we have it wrong. Look for a future podcast where we will talk more about this.
