Hi! I’m Susan Ely. a former overwhelmed, over-budget, overworked, under-appreciated woman”
In the next few minutes, you are going to discover seasonal stress management secrets that most women will never know.
You’re also going to learn how to slow down, spend less and restore sanity & serenit to your holiday season.
Let me start by asking a question…
Are you sometimes exasperated by the “get me, gimme’, buy me, take me, bake me, trim me, attend me, do for me” craziness of the holidays? If your eyes glaze over just thinking about it all, it’s time to step back, reconsider and refocus.
Is there such a thing as a hassle-free holiday?
Don’t misunderstand; I love Christmas – it’s the 3-month prelude that makes me nuttier than a fruitcake!
Definition of hassle: A prolonged trouble or inconvenience.
Being that Christmas decorations start popping up in the mall around Labor Day, I’d say hassle is the perfect description!
Those annoying, “I only have one thing left to buy, then my Christmas shopping is done” Facebook posts started showing up in September. Could someone at Facebook please come up with a DIS-like button? “Un-friend” is the only option and that seems a little Scroogey.
A lot of my Christmas angst comes from those years when I was a young mother, excited about the holidays yet totally overwhelmed with all it entailed. With three kids under three, I didn’t have a lot of time for shopping, baking or decorating and there wasn’t much extra cash for gifts, so I was always stressed out.
Those were also the years I began to discover my gift for hospitality and I put a ton of pressure on myself to be the perfect hostess.
What I really wanted was to create the kinds of memories for my kids that I had of my childhood Christmases. The funny thing is that I realize now that my mom never did any of the things I was so determined to do.
When I was little:
– Never had 2 trees: one for the kids, one for the grown-ups
– Never had stockings stuffed with expensive gadgets and trinkets
– Never decorated sugar cookies
– Never participated in a Christmas cookie exchange
– Never threw a party or had an open house
– Never had special Christmas outfits
– Didn’t have a traditional Christmas Eve dinner
– Didn’t have so many lights on the tree that you had to wear sunglasses
– Didn’t stock up a liquor cabinet or serve fancy holiday cocktails
– We made cards for our teachers if we wanted to give them something
– Didn’t put Christmas on a credit card -Mom put money in a Christmas Club account every month to pay for our presents
– The tree skirt was a white bed sheet, not a hand-embroidered satin number that matched the sofa
– People normally put up their trees the second week of December – not at Thanksgiving and it didn’t take a week to decorate for the holidays
– We polished our shoes, not the silver
– Holiday mix was a snack you made out of cereal, pretzels and peanuts, not a handpicked selection of seasonal music downloads
– My mom’s fudge and thumbprint cookies – (I hated her fruitcake cookies!)
– The box of ribbon candy she bought every year
– The laughs we had opening presents because mom always got the nametags mixed up. My brother didn’t appreciate my Tiny Tears doll one little bit!
– My Italian grandmother’s spinach-stuffed ravioli
– Throwing tinsel on the tree and Mom re-arranging it
– The blue Christmas tree lights that made the room seem so peaceful
You see, my childhood Christmases were pretty simple, but not simple like the magazine REAL SIMPLE, or as I like to call it: “REAL SIMPLE – REAL EXPENSIVE”
SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE
Even though our holiday celebrations were simple, I don’t remember ever hearing anyone complain. I know for a fact my kids do remember me stressing and complaining. This new, relaxed me has only been around for a few years now (sorry, kids) and you know why I’m so relaxed?
I’ve simplified.
I’ve discovered the world will not end if I forget a gift, don’t bake ten types of cookies and only put up one tree.
My new motto?
Have yourself a MERRY little CHRISTMAS…
little in the amount of stress but LARGE in enjoyment!
After years of holiday headaches, I’ve discovered how to SURVIVE AND THRIVE through the Christmas season.
So much so, that all my friends and family started taking notice … and asking me how in the world I do it!
