Some adrenaline junkies, consider the stress as an exciting component of the holidays, 3 year Tellwut member Gibsonkitty said “stress is part of the fun. Trying to fit the right gift with the right person is more of a challenge than stress. Love it”   Here are some helpful hints to beat the holiday heat:   Step One – Marianne comments, “if you plan things ahead no reason to get stressed.” How can you successfully plan? Get yourself an old fashioned calendar so that you can keep track of your obligations. Sometimes a visualization of mapped out details can aid in not double booking or extending yourself to commitments that you will not be able to uphold.   Step Two – Tellwut member knoopje said, “buying the right gift stresses me out.” For those who are shopping for gifts, shop early! Throughout the year keep a detailed list of what gifts those close to you would enjoy receiving. This includes making your online purchases early, there can be delays for a multitude of reasons from a technological error to a shipping mishap.   Step Three – Cut costs where you can – if you can make something yourself you should probably take that route.
