Picture this: it's a random Tuesday in July, Christmas music is blasting, and you're spending the entire day baking holiday cookies with your kids. Sounds crazy? This simple tradition has become one of my most effective holiday stress-busting strategies. If December always feels like a chaotic scramble of baking, crafting, and endless to-dos, you're going to love this completely unserious approach to a very serious problem.

What started as a way to bring back the joy in holiday traditions has transformed into a strategic planning method that saves me hours during the busy holiday season. By doing holiday prep work when I actually have time and mental space, I've turned stressful December obligations back into the fun family activities they were meant to be. This isn't just about cookies. It's about thinking strategically and giving your future self the gift of a more relaxed holiday season.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why December traditions become overwhelming (and how to fix it)
• How to choose which holiday activities work best for summer prep
• Strategic freezing and storage tips for holiday baking
• The planning mindset that prevents reactive holiday scrambling
• How this approach breaks up summer monotony while solving December stress
