Clutter. Hey guys and welcome back to the Clutterbug Podcast. Today we are talking about

Priorities when it comes to Christmas and the holidays and having our house holiday

ready.

If you're anything like me, you have this vision in your mind

of what you want your house to look like or what you want to have accomplished

before Christmas Eve, before the holiday begin.

And in the past, I've gone overboard. I mean, I've gone to full crazy town about the things that I thought I had to have done so I could enjoy a

relaxing peaceful Christmas and the opposite would happen. My list was so huge

I was so overwhelmed with other Christmas things like shopping and

wrapping and Christmas parties and just all the craziness that comes with the holidays

that I did not have time to do half of the things on my crazy list that I've put in in place.

So what ended up happening was I went bananas and I was mad at myself, I was mad at my family for not helping out. I felt a lot of anxiety about the things I still had to get done.

And I basically just ran around in circles screaming like a maniac, really not accomplishing very much at all.

So last year I took a different approach.

Last year I decided instead to really prioritize Christmas. For me it really is important to have

be on top of things, to have a pretty clean and tidy home before the holidays begin so I don't

have to get stressed out about it while I'm enjoying it. But I certainly don't have to worry

about cleaning basboards or cleaning out the fridge or you know

scrubbing the bathtubs that's that's things that aren't important and it was

hard for me to see the difference it was hard for me me to see what is important and what isn't.
