Lance® is making this holiday season exciting with its first ever seasonal product. They’ve paired their traditional cookies, like Nekot®, with the season’s most popular flavors. We are happy to partner with Lance® Snacks on this post.

I make lists to keep track of things.
My to do includes cleaning your house each weekend in December so you are not overwhelmed with that the day of.
Do as much prep work as you can in advance so you won’t be overwhelmed.
Wrap presents as you buy them — don’t wait and wrap everything at the last minute!
I keep lots of to-do lists and stay ahead of the schedule.
I always write down in a nice little notebook what needs purchased and the itinerary so you dont have to back track.
my tip is to create a to do list to make sure and not forget anything.
My best holiday tip is to find at least 15 minutes a day to spend by yourself where it is quiet. This really does re-energize you.
always have a piece of chocolate around to calm me down lol
The best tip os too deligate tasks, prep cookie dough in the freezer so you can make cookies on the fly when guests come!
I shop in areas of the city certain stores in that area all on 1 day I’ll then do another area on another day shop early and wisely stop and rest I like to go to the park and just relax
I spread it out. It is too crazy to see everyone in one day. We celebrate over 2 weeks at multiple homes. Its less stress on everyone.
I like to plan everything out and get my shopping and wrapping done early.
Have to do lists and just remember, you are one person and do what you can.
I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Thank you
Getting help from others is always the best way to go. You do not have to do it ALL yourself.

sit down and plan all the major events.
Don’t wait until the last minute to do shopping!
Lists and plenty of sleep
My advice to avoid stress on a busy schedule is to go shopping as early in the day before the crowds.
Don’t take it too seriously and do not take it personally if you can not complete everything.
I buy all my veggie tray items premade, either in bulk or by tray. It is so much easier this way.
I like to order deli platers from our local grocery store when people are coming over to save on time and preparation
Pace yourself. Things that can be done well ahead like addressing Christmas cards do in November. Don’t try and be super elf.
Plan ahead and get as much as possible done in advance, then take a day to relax and have time to myself before hosting the entire family on Christmas Day.
Enjoy some Lance crackers as a quick burst of energy while shopping or wrapping.
Saturday before go to a spa- it will relax you enough to continue

just go with the flow! everything doesn’t have to be perfect!
my tip is try to enjoy the holidays not stress yourself out
Keep a list and plan/do as much as possible a head of time so no time crunch
Don’t panic! Take a break and have a cup of tea.
Leave your decorations up year round
Do as much as possible beforehand, but keep in mind that not stressing yourself out is the best gift to give yourself. Nobody has to know if you planned to do more and didn’t – so don’t tell them. Prioritize your lists as must do/buy and would like to do/buy and be ok with letting some of the like to do stuff slide.
Do as much ahead of time as possible. I also do a lot of my shopping online to save time and hassle.
My tip is not to overload yourself with too much and get the entire family involved with helping out on things that need to get done. Sometimes a little less is more than trying to rush through everything without really enjoying any of it along the way due to stress. It might be a good idea to take a couple of hours a night to relax and watch a movie.
Just be patient and don’t get so overly stressed. I always tell myself that it will all go fine and just focus on one task at a time.
My tip is to always Christmas shop with a list & stick to it.
Delegate duties. I have one kid wrap for another for one thing.
Make a list so you can see that you are accomplishing things
Do over schedule yourself. Take time and relax.

I shop year round and put presents into my “secret closet” so there is no real rush for me. I get bargains when I see them, avoid holiday crowds, and take things easier as I get older. 🙂

Always set aside some quiet time for yourself. Time to get organized or just to be able to relax for a minute.

Get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of water. Then you’ll be good to go!
Make lists and don’t worry if you don’t get everything done – it’s so chaotic and exciting, I bet no one would notice.
My best tip is to try to not do too much.
I’m doing less unnecessary things and am more relaxed during the holidays.
thank you
Do your shopping throughout the year to make it not so hectic.
My best tip is to take breaks often and relax. The holidays should not be stressful. Just like Kimberly said, It’s Jesus’ birthday..and we need to remember the reason for the season. 🙂

I always plan, shop early and don’t over-commit!
My best suggestion is to plan ahead with lists, and learn to say no – only do the things that are really important to you
Hire help!!!!
My tip for the holidays is to pre-prepare as much food as possible. I bake many of my Christmas cookies early and freeze them for later use. Nobody even notices that they were previously frozen.
In our house, me and my daughter do all the shopping, this year it was done all online, and the men do all the wrapping. It just makes it so much easier then trying to do it all by yourself.
I try to prepare as much as I can ahead of time-shopping, cooking, baking, cleaning-so when the big day arrives, I’m not rushing around trying to get everything done.
never put things off
Get as much as you can done as early as possible, then you can relax and actually enjoy the days surrounding the holiday and spend time with loved ones.
I try not to over-commit, and start early on the errands. We also make sure we get time to do our favorite Christmas things like driving around looking at lights.

Make a list of everything you need to do. You’ll be able to cross items off as they are done.
Do not leave everything until the last minute. Make a list and try to follow it.

Take your time and do a little at a time !!
It’s important to give yourself more time than you think something will take so you’re not rushing.

Christmas may come but once a year, but it comes every single year without fail. If you’re too busy to participate in every party or family tradition this year, don’t worry. There’s always next year!
plan ahead and get ready as early as possible
my holiday tip is to order as much as you can online
Just don’t get to the point that Christmas takes you over. You should never let things get to the point that it gets hectic. Relax and take things in stride and calmly.
make a list-check it twice-try not to make everything perfect-things happen -enjoy family –
Try to enjoy the holidays by taking a break when feeling overwhelmed!
Try to not do too much at once. I have a big family gathering on Christmas Eve, and we each bring two dishes so no one has to do all the cooking. And as far as getting gifts, start early with the buying and wrapping that way you will not be so rushed.
Shop early and start wrapping as soon as you get the presents.
My best tip is to keep a calendar and be sure to get plenty of sleep each night.
I have stopped trying to make things “perfect.” Once I let perfect go, it seems like I enjoy Advent and the prep for Christmas more. I also like trying something new to make each year…experiment!
Be sure to carve a little time out to do something for yourself.
Keep organized and follow a schedule.
Do all that you can ahead of time, don’t spread yourself thin, do what you can and get the family to pitch in help for cleaning and things like that.
