The Christmas Survival Kit for Parents


Listen Later

From Elf on a Shelf and advent calendars to the business of seeing the whole family in such a short period… Christmas can be stressful, and it can be super overwhelming, especially for us parents.


Santa doesn’t do organising for us, which means the holiday season is often wrought with so much pressure to get everything right, and so often we put that pressure on ourselves.


So in this bucket emptying episode, I’m going to share five top tips to help you manage the upcoming festive season, which you can start using right now to make your holiday planning easier, stress free and successful!


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…

01:03 - The silly season

04:19 - Plan ahead

08:56 - Be realistic with yourself

16:02 - Always have a backup plan

18:50 - Don’t take things too seriously
