December is often a manically busy month. Make sure you schedule down time for yourself to regroup, relax, and enjoy the holidays.
- Mail gifts and Christmas cards. The earlier the better.
- Finish shopping. Wrap gifts.
- Decorate house. Pull out ornaments and decorations. Purchase needed items. Put up tree, wreath, and garland.
- Last chance to make donations to charities and claim the tax benefits for the current year. Don´t forget to get a receipt.
- Having guests? Clean out the guest room (or space). Dust, vacuum, change linens. Prepare a care package of whatever you think your guest might enjoy. Spend the night in your guest room to make sure it´s comfortable.
- Take Fido and FiFi out to have them groomed and clipped. No point being stuck inside with a stinky dog.
- Get plenty of sleep, exercise, and try to avoid eating and drinking too much. It will reduce your stress and you´ll enjoy the season more. When January rolls around you won´t be freaking out about the five new pounds that you found attached to your butt New Year´s Day.
