I was getting pretty down after seeing all the cute advent calendar ideas and huge, amazing Christmas trees in people's perfect, cozy, wood-floored houses. Well, I've got a tiny, fake tree on the counter that my one year old can't reach! So it's worth it to not constantly have to keep her from ruining the ornaments and lights, haha.

What a silly goal living in Utah. Now my goal has changed to getting it all done before December 1st. I want to eliminate the stress that comes with finding the perfect gifts. Last year I would wake up in a panic from dreams that it was Christmas morning and I didn't get my husband anything. And randomly throughout the day my heart would drop into my stomach as I frantically tried to remember what the date was and how much time I had left to shop. I decided if I get all of my shopping done early this year then I can have more time to create memories with my family and not feel guilty that I was out shopping instead.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811530359842264063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-71172797888258805722013-11-19T17:32:53.231-07:002013-11-19T17:32:53.231-07:00Love this.

I really need to focus on this and take that piece of wisdom to heart and action.<br /><br />One thing that I forget that has helped me in years past is remembering that I don't have to do it all each Christmas: every body's party, my own holiday party, cards, tons of decor, big shopping trips... each year can look different.

One thing that has helped me in years past is to make deliberate and specific plans. I guess it kind of ties in to your #3. I'll start with a *short* bucket list (4-5 things) that are really important to me, and I'll pick specific days to do them. That way, instead of getting caught up in trying to do/make/bake/visit *everything,* I know I've prioritized and made pre-planned decisions about what will help me and my family really enjoy the season. <br /><br />Thanks again for writing this! I always love your posts. Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736049937652054001noreply@blogger.com
