At the end of 2019, nobody could have predicted the year ahead. Regardless of your circumstances, there is no doubt that 2020 has been incredibly tough, and you would be forgiven for collapsing in a heap this December.
Of course, you still want to enjoy a magical Christmas, so if you find you’ve run out of steam for all the extras of the festive season, here are three ways to go easy on yourself and simplify your Christmas:
Pre-lit Christmas trees
There are many pre-lit Christmas trees on the market for instant sparkle within seconds. You can still enjoy hanging the baubles and Christmas decorations , but without the painstaking untangling of the fairy lights. Plus, pre-lit trees have perfectly positioned lights, which gives your tree a professional looking edge.
Keep the cooking simple
If you love getting into the kitchen and creating a gourmet meal, that’s great, but if you’d rather spend your Christmas Day with your feet up opposed to making stuffing from scratch, there’s nothing wrong with going for some shop-bought food options.
Simplify the wrapping
If you enjoy getting your creative flair on when wrapping, stick a Christmas movie on, pour a glass of mulled wine and go for it. However, if you find yourself running out of time and getting stressed, most adults are happy to receive gifts in a festive gift bag. Focus your wrapping energy on the young children instead, who love to rip the paper off.
Above all else, take the pressure off and allow yourself to take it easy this Christmas.
