SHORT-CUTS...
(Advent Survival Calendar December 11th/ 12th/ 13th )
Don't
stress about Christmas Cards… people will understand
Get gifts wrapped in store or use gift bags
Buy
cakes for cake sale day at school if you don’t have time
Pace
yourself, use the time when the kids are at school to get organised, and look
after yourself too
Learn
to say NO… if your too busy its OK to say NO. December is busy for everyone and
you cant be in a million places at once
Cheat..
Use ready prepped veg/ pre baked deserts etc. No one will know the difference
Get
family presents like a board game as a gift instead of individual presents for
each family member
For
teachers gifts don’t worry about getting them all a present. Get some tea/
coffee and some nice staff room treats for the whole staffroom...trust me it
will be much appreciated
Time for a giggle ...

Food...
Buffets
can work well instead of formal sit down meals, they can be more relaxed and be
far less stressful
Allow
your child to choose what they want to eat on Christmas Day, it doesn't have to
be what everyone else is eating
Consider
having a table just for the kids on
Christmas Day
Be
prepared everywhere you go, take food you know your child will eat
If
you're eating at someone else's house, set a time that you will arrive so they
can be prepared. This avoids your child having to wait around to eat which can
lead to stress
Some
kids don’t like eating at the table with others as it lead to sensory overload,
so consider this when arranging seats
Give your child a role they may like
to do at the Christmas table, maybe clearing away the crackers, telling the
jokes, or putting the wrapping paper in the bin etc.
