For most women, the holidays are a time of joy and family…and stress, overeating and sleep deprivation. And each year we always say things like, Next Year I’ll Be More Organized, or Next Year I Will Feel Less Hectic, or Next Year I Wont Plan So Much to Do. Instead of waiting for next year, listen today and learn ideas to bring more peace to your celebrations this year and make the holidays about family, faith and togetherness. By simplifying and having a clear purpose you can experience a memorable holiday without the chaos.

Challenge: Spend time in quiet thought this week about the upcoming holidays. Decide what is vital and important to you and what you want to accomplish with the holidays.

Next, hold a planning meeting with your family and give everyone a chance to say what they would like to have happen for the holidays. To spark ideas and make it a fun gathering, get out old Christmas photos or family movies to get everyone in the spirit.

Reconcile your ideas with your families since, we all know, you will be the driver behind making the holidays happen in your home. Make a master list and tack it up so you can stay on track. Or if you like to take your organization a step further, check out one of the resources listed below for holiday planners and enjoy sailing through your holidays with plenty of peace, time for quiet, and what matters most.
