Time to "chillax" this holiday season...

Yes, 'it' is here...'It' meaning the holidays.  I feel like I am just getting over Halloween and now Thanksgiving followed by Christmas is just around the corner.  Literally.

Every year, I try not to get stressed about it but sure enough, it gets me every time. I am not sure if it is because the "hype" starts even before we can enjoy Halloween.  You know what I am talking about:  store aisles are slowly turning red, green, and white, the boxed holiday cards are out, and the garland is on the shelves.  Honestly, I am annoyed that retailers push Christmas so early but I get it.  

Once Halloween is gone...Boom, it is Christmas!  I seriously need a transitional period to mentally prepare myself for the upcoming holiday madness. Yikes!

I have to admit, I do love the holidays despite the stress and I do get "caught up" in the craziness of it all - Black Friday, Cyber Monday, finding that perfect gift, last minutes shopping, etc.  It is fun and exciting.  More importantly, my kids love EVERYTHING about the holidays.

This holiday, I made a promise to myself that I am going to 'chillax' (chill + relax = chillax) this year.  Sounds really easy to do but I always feel like I'm running around like a crazy mom trying to do everything...homework with the kids, cleaning the house, cooking, doing laundry, volunteer work, and running 2 businesses, etc!  

Simply put:  The holidays are meant to be enjoyed with loved ones.  Forget the stress, enjoy the moment, and chillax.
