Take a moment before it gets too crazy to evaluate the festive season so far.
Take stock.
Have you enjoyed it?
Has the family enjoyed it?
What would you do differently next time?
What will you never do again?
What is still on your to-do list for the next couple of days?
What could you eliminate?
Perhaps a quick family poll around the dinner table will help you to create the Christmas you really want. If not now, then definitely next year. You may be surprised to hear the “must-dos” on your list are “ho hum” by others’ standards, giving you permission to soak in the tub instead of baking till midnight.
Whatever you discover, pop it into your Christmas file for future years.
