The best way to shop at Christmas

 Christmas is one among the foremost celebrated 

holidays on the earth .

And, with just Christmas shopping days left,

 we will make this a festive season without spending a fortune,

 giving to everyone and doing it all!

A simple quote that sums it up very nicely:

As we give presents at Christmas, we'd like to 

acknowledge that sharing our time and 

ourselves is such a crucial a part of giving.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Here are four simple tips to manage your

 stress this holiday season:

1. Plan your budget. And it isn't too late to trim 

your list with just 10 shopping days left.

 If necessary tell folks that you're curtailing 

on gift giving this year. To your surprise,

 they'll understand and presumably feel relieved !

 Most folks have too many 'things' in our lives anyway.

They'd likely be happier if they knew you 

were giving a present to an area charity.

2. Dedicate More Time to Others - Your relationships with others are the most beautiful gift ever and provide more precious, 

immortal memories.

Cherish those moments! Planning a celebration - do the shopping with a helper and catch up while you propose the event.

Christmas may be a time for everybody to offer , not just you.

3. Engaging relations in helping with the chores could mean all the difference between you enjoying Christmas or just enduring it. 

Baking, cooking, preparing and decorating to celebrate the festival is another opportunity to multitask. 

Take advantage of this example as you will catch up with friends and loved ones. Play some Christmas music,

 chat, laugh and catch up. Many hands make the work a lot light and fun.

4. Take time for yourself. Make time for quiet, relaxing activities. getting to 

the spa is wonderful but an extended hot soak taking note of your favourite music or simply enjoying some peace and quiet could also 

help to regenerate your soul. It's even okay to disconnect from technology. Cell phones and computers have off buttons. Say no to the distractions.

 If it's really necessary for somebody to attach with you they're going to turn a land line or drop by .

Keeping things simple, spending time with friends and loved ones and posing for help can make this Christmas truly a celebration to recollect .

Merry Christmas Everyone and a have a cheerful and Prosperous 2021.
