We know it's easy to over commit during the holiday season. It often means we end up too tired to enjoy the holidays, and that's not right. I remember wrapping presents on Christmas Eve, after the boys went to bed. It should have been fun but I was too tired to enjoy what I was doing. These holiday tips can help you focus on what's important – family, friends & creating meaningful experiences.
