Seasonal December 1

Seasonal December 1:

          We are fast into December.  Wow it is hard to believe that Christmas Holidays and other Special Holidays for others is so close at hand!  There is so much to do coupled with a lot of stressful extras.  Planning is the key to a successful season.  The trick...is having the determination to stick to the plans and roll when the plans do not stick to schedule.

          A few tips to get you through:

1. If you have children or grandchildren, a special child in your life...get their schedule and make sure their events are a priority in your plans.  It will make them feel special and appreciated for what they are doing as the world stresses out around them.
2. Got your parcels and cards in the mail yet?  Many places fill up quickly and cannot guarantee the ability to arrive on time early.
3. Double and triple check wiring and outlets outside before plugging in and make sure you have a helping buddy while putting up the lights.
4. Usually people pad their time by 10 to 15 minutes when going some where.  If you live in the great white snow (or in our case very sub-zero temperatures and looking a little funny with snow boots while the ground is bare of the fluffy stuff) give yourself an extra 1/2 hour to an hour to insure the time for parking and walking while bundled.

          Scheduling extra time for any out door task, activity or travel is the best bet for anyone wishing to not be rushed or confounded by traffic.  Reduce the stress!

Have a great Season!
