Actually, I think I might be one of the people who likes how busy the season is. But keep in mind I have no husband or children, so I can't possibly be as busy as most of the people who are stressed about the holidays. But Christmas keeps me busy, and too busy to think about how much physical pain I'm in, or about being sad or lonely. I like how the Christmas season affects me. I forget about anything to do with me and focus on other people. I'd like to think I do that all year 'round, but Christmas really brings it out more.

Hi, Cher! I don't think I have any tips for relaxing during Christmas season because I just love how busy the season can be! I love Christmas and just planning for what to do and buy make me all excited, but of course I have to see my budget. It can be very tiring at the end of the day, but it's the magical feeling that I have once in a year makes me full of high spirits to celebrate the blessed and joyous season.

This year i have decided that i am going to relax abit more this christmas as Christmas is for every one to enjoy,so i am going to enjoy this one and do as little as i can.My dinner is going to be cooked for me as we are having it at my mums.The children can open their presents in the morning at home as well as play with them before dinner,then they can open more presents at my mums from her,then we will come home for our evening so that the children can play before bedtime.All the other years was a rush as well as a panic,because we had guests here.
