Although the
holiday season is certainly very exciting, for many people it is also fraught
with stress. However, if you put in a little bit of preparation ahead of time,
you will be able to cruise through the holiday season as peacefully as
possible.
Wardrobe
One of the
most stressful aspects of the holiday season is determining what you should
wear for holiday parties. To avoid a major meltdown right before you have to
get out the door, try on your prospective holiday outfits well in advance of
the party season. Everyone’s body changes from year to year, so you may not be
able to just re-accessorize an old dress.
Once you
have your clothing squared away, plan the outfits completely including shoes
and accessories. This ensures that you will head to each party feeling your
very best.
Food and drink
During the
holidays, there may be many impromptu gatherings. To avoid the stress of having
to feed guests or attend a drop-in on the fly, we recommend the following
preparations:
- Have hors d’oeuvres in the freezer
- Keep a running list of healthy and delicious meals that you can make quickly
- Maintain a well-stocked bar
- Keep a set of hostess gifts made and ready to give – we recommend a pair of Hanky Panky underwear wrapped around a bottle of wine for something fun and different
Shopping
The best way
to avoid spending more money than you would like during the holiday season is
with a detailed list and comprehensive budget. Allow extra time to place
special orders for undergarments and other specialty gifts.
Get home safely
The most
important thing to plan this holiday season is making sure you get home safely.
Canadian Designated Drivers is a wonderful organisation that will drive you and
your car home from any party or event. For more information about this vital
service, check out their website.
The holiday
season can be stressful, but it does not have to be. If you plan ahead and
resist the urge to overbook yourself, you will be able to enjoy a stress-free
holiday season.
