Yikes! This month is already flying by and I haven't even finished reading half of my Christmas books yet! Luckily, most of my house is decorated, nearly all the Christmas shopping is done and the wrapping too.  Now to start planning and preparing for Christmas dinner.  I hope you have been enjoying my tips for a stress free holiday, I must say that most of them so far are tips I have been using and this year I am surprisingly less stressed (holiday wise anyway) than in years passed. 

We did have a little extra holiday fun this weekend and took Munchkin on the Polar Express train again. It is so pricey but he has so much fun on it and this is the only time he will even get close to Santa!  We even got our first snow the night before so it made it extra magical.




Hope you are having a great December so far!

  1. I’ve been loving your tips. Hopefully I can put them into effect next year. This year is a bust. Sigh! How cool that you got snow right before your outing. Very fun!

    1. I am glad that you are finding them helpful, it took me a while to come up with them but I have to say now that I am paying attention and really putting my own advice into action, I am so much less stressed than in years past.
