Today is our last in a series of 5 tips about how to de-stress your holidays.
Baking
Some people love holiday baking while others dread it. A lot of this depends on your time schedule and baking abilities. Even if you are completely helpless in the kitchen, it is still possible to create your own special goodies for family and friends without taking a huge amount of time. Buy some plain cookies from a grocery store or local bakery, and add your own touch by frosting or drizzling them with melted chocolate and topping with sprinkles. Package them in your own tupperware, and no one will suspect you didn’t make them from scratch!
Additionally, if you like to bake but just don’t have the time or skill to make a variety of treats, consider hosting a cookie exchange. The end result provides you with a vast array of home made holiday cookies, without all the work and expense.
Remember, escaping the worst of the holiday stress is easy when you’ve planned things out in advance. With your calendar in hand and some good organization in mind, you and your family will make it through the holiday season, and hopefully you will find yourself feeling relaxed, joyous, and merry in the new year.
