Hot tip for Christmas time (or any holiday time).
We all go crazy trying to "create" a "perfect whatever" Christmas should be. Spend hours making centerpieces or slaving over the stove cooking everything our "mom" (grandmother/mother-in-law) made. Which is all good. If you don't have a 9-5 job or a husband who isn't home all week and spends his weekend sitting on his chair doing nothing --oops my outside voice. What I am trying to say is especially foodwise, you can buy just about anything already made at the store, or join a cookie swap where you make so many cookies and you get so many in return (this way you only have to make 1 type and get 6-12 dozen of different types). Do a potluck dinner or be specific and ask your guests if they can bring either this or that.
Work smarter, not harder.
