Oh the weather outside is delightful but my boss is so frightful, and since I can not quit, let me know let me know let me know... Just how am I going to enjoy this holiday season with all the stress and so little money? The theme is the same around the country this year, let me know, let me know...how do I pay for Christmas?
Christmas time should be a time of joy where you can enjoy some genuine peace and happiness, unfortunately far too many people see Christmas time as the most stressful month of the whole year and will do anything to avoid it, which means pushing off the gift giving until the last minute.
There are better ways to shop and truly give from the heart because this is a special time, a time when your friends and family should be at the top of your priority list it; Christmas only happens once a year you know. I know the clamor to get out there and shop can bring more of the scrooge out then holiday cheer so let me offer some tips that can make your gift giving more special while spreading the joy of the season.
Let's begin with what means the most to you? Are the simple acts of generosity, personal connection, and self-care your biggest joys, or is it the traditions and spending time with one another? Now ask yourself what would your partner answer- it she/he enjoys just having you around then big gifts are not the answer, bringing joy might be better served with some firelight, listening to music, going for an old-fashioned sleigh ride, taking a mini-driving vacation. Time alone with one another could bring more joy then anything wrapped underneath the tree.
Maybe giving gifts this year isn't even in your budget, how about writing to those you love by writing a note or making a Christmas greeting card, and let those you care about know how much you really do appreciate them. Better yet, invite your family and or friends over and you can all make cards together, this would be a great time to express your feelings while creating some memorable messages.
Remember to that is the busy of the season it is easy to forget about yourself, which is kind-of the point, unless you run yourself ragged. make sure you stay hydrated, rested, and take time for yourself to enjoy some peace, maybe through a good book, meditation, or a good work out. By giving yourself some "down time" you will be better off when trying to give of yourself to others.
