Organization is the key to a successful holiday season. Yes, it might take a bit longer to list everything out and schedule the various activities, but it will make your holidays much more streamlined. Plus, by breaking down the tasks, you can also assign members of your family to help out so you can get everything prepared beforehand.

With that said, remember to take the time to slow down and relax with your family. If you prefer not to do a big dinner or do gift exchanges, you don’t have to! There’s no ‘right’ way to celebrate the holidays. So long as everyone is happy then you’re doing it properly.
