There is so much to do, so much to prepare for, so many gifts to buy. Parents are stressed and can’t rest. Thankfully, In this blog we have included so many hints, tips and tricks for parents to read as we approach the dreaded Christmas holidays.
The children are crazily excited for Santa’s visit, they wait up for hours and wake you up bright and breezy at 5am on the dot. They can’t wait to run down stairs and rip open their presents, stuff their faces with chocolate and play in the snow.
What a busy day, how will we ever prepare for the craziness that comes with Christmas?
Preparation is key!
In this tip I’m going to be discussing how to ensure you’re stress free by Christmas Eve. Whether you’re buying your veggies and freezing them till the day before or buying an endless supply of sticky tape and bows. Plan at least one to two months in advance. I always buy the wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, bags and tags in advance otherwise the shops have nothing left the week before Christmas Day! I always make a list of the presents I want to buy for people on my phone and on paper, I have it on my phone so if I go into a gift shop I can cross it off my list or see if I need it. And paper lists are a classic thing to do. Honestly, always prepare early and you won’t regret it.

Board Games
With technology being such a huge part of our lives, it’s nice and relaxing to sit down altogether and play the games as a family. It’s a classic christmas tradition that takes a small amount of effort! You could play Frustration, Snakes and Ladders, Cluedo or your typical boil over game, Monopoly. As a result this brings everyone together for some fun!

Accomplish the mighty Christmas dinner
Accomplish the mighty Christmas dinner. There are so many items of food that are always known to be in a Christmas dinner, for example; turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, parsnips and the list goes on… How will we prepare? Plan, plan, plan!! Think about if you want meat or not, if you’re having meat always leave it to rest. If you aren’t having meat, what alternatives are there? Always be sure to include your veggies, get your five a day to balance the chocolate overload in the morning!! I always enjoy a yummy Christmas dinner.

Mums, Dads, Siblings, Grandparents, Boyfriends and Girlfriends are all trying to find unique ways of making their Christmas holidays different from anything they’ve done before. People were getting creative over the pandemic and this might come in handy this Christmas.

Maybe try creating hot glue snowflakes you can stick to the windows or walls (when they have cooled down not hot!!)
