Women: Do Christmas with the minimum fuss

The approach to Christmas can be a challenging time. Women are often the main organiser of school costumes for nativities, other social events, presents, and the food preparation for the day. Of course this is on top of normal daily activities. It is not a wonder many women are tense over the pre-Christmas period. Do you recognise the scenario?

However there are things women can do to help themselves. Lets look at some tips for the woman of the house…..

Tip #1  Stay calm – remember that the people coming on Christmas Day are friends and family. The day is not a test, they love you. Everything does not have to be perfect, only you want that.  Do not be afraid to delegate tasks.

Tip #2 Spend only the cash your family can afford. When you love people it is always tempting to want to get them a great present, especially children. Overspending is often a key cause of tension between couples. Get creative and make some of your presents. Better still delegate some of them to your partner.

Tip #3  It is your Christmas too! Try to get a rest during the day. Allow your family to make you a cup of tea or pour you a drink. Make sure you are sitting down while you enjoy it.

Apologies for these suggestions to the women who are calm, manage their budget well and are good at delegating so they can enjoy Christmas too….
