Don't Let Christmas Kill You: A Woman's Guide to Avoiding Financial Disaster, Relational Crisis & Holiday Hysteria

"Next year, Christmas will be better. I’ll be less stressed, get everything done, finish the Christmas cards and figure out how to experience the joy I had when I was younger."These were my thoughts a few years back. Each Christmas we work harder, but don’t seem to get closer to the elusive goal of sensing the joy and wonder of the season. In our hearts, we know the magic of the Christmas season is for each of us. We stare at our schedules, phone in one hand, the 13th cup of coffee in the other, figuring out how we are going to do it all, then sigh in frustration.Perhaps the best way to figure out Christmas might be to write Mrs. Santa a letter and ask for her secret sauce of how she gets it all done. I highly suspect she’s been the one running things up at the North Pole for years now. After all, it’s usually the women who get the work done at the holidays. We know Christmas won’t really kill us, but it gets pretty close. Constant activity, increasing demands, and an “always on” mentality wears us down. Most of us never take the time to recuperate. I never did write that letter to Mrs. Claus, but I did start making changes to my holiday routine. After a lot of trial and error, I’ve figured out a few things on how to decrease the chaos, kick out the insanity (well, most of it) and defeat holiday hysteria. Besides dealing with the negatives, some wonderful things have entered the season, things that opened space for the joy and the merry to come back in.In this book, you’ll learn:**How to Identify and Work through the Stresses of the Season.
