Happy Holidays

I am in the midst of addressing our Christmas card envelopes by hand. It helps me to slow down and think of the people in our lives that we don't see very often anymore. I love to put on a Christmas movie and do this in one fell swoop.

How to Save Time and Make Memories this Holiday Season

With only a few days before Christmas, I'm sure you are feeling the stress of trying to do all the right things, make all the sweet memories, and get all the right gifts.

And you may even be annoyed by all those social media memes that tell you to embrace the time and don't worry about anything.

Yeah, those are written by people who aren't in the middle. And if they are in the middle, they are in denial about how hard the middle is.

You may have not been able to do and be all you were were planning to be this season.

And honestly, it matters. You are an amazing parent. You want the best for your kids.

In the midst of wrapping presents, buying presents, making cookies, going to church, getting to the millions of concerts, you stop.

And here's what you do.

Step 1: Read through our list of Top 10 Christmas Events.

Step 2: Pick one thing.

One thing.

Step 3: Put it on your calendar.

Step 4: Tell your kids you have a fun Christmastime activity and give them the exact time.

Step 5: Do it. Whether you are excited or cranky, do it. This is one of your family gifts.

Some of the events on the list have passed, but there are still many still happening this weekend.
