8. Reduce Time Spent Cooking and Shopping
When it comes to your Christmas baking, you probably do not need to make dozens upon dozens of cookies or treats. Just make a few dozen, focusing on those that your family enjoys the most. If you have children, let them help in a way that is best suited based on their ages and abilities to not only eliminate some of the burden, but to add quality time. As for shopping, spending time around frenzied shoppers and in long lines does not help your stress. Instead, buy gifts online or choose to give recipients gift cards.
