Tired of trying to be the holiday superhero while clinging to your last shred of sanity? If you’re the one orchestrating the holiday magic (and probably losing a little hair over it), this one's for you. We’re diving into that festive frenzy where moms end up juggling gift lists, holiday cards, and 27 different kinds of cookies while wondering if there’s enough wine in the world to survive it.

Today, we’re serving up some much-needed real talk about setting boundaries and ditching those holiday perfection traps. Forget the Instagram-worthy gingerbread house and focus on what actually brings joy. Spoiler: It’s not the perfectly frosted sugar cookies but maybe letting someone else handle dinner (yes, store-bought counts).

And hey, if the thought of one more Christmas card makes you twitch, skip it. This season, we’re all about delegating, saying no, and choosing self-care over burnout. Because let's be honest—your happiness is worth way more than a picture-perfect holiday mantel.
