Do you know the feeling? Christmas is approaching, and instead of feeling joyful, all you feel is stress. Especially for us women, the Advent season and Christmas aren't just about festive cheer—they also bring a lot of stress: preparing Advent calendars, baking cookies, decorating, buying gifts, planning everything on time, meeting expectations—all while managing the usual everyday madness. Maybe you are even asking yourself right now: How am I supposed to do all this? 🤯

 

My tip: Take a step back, let go of the belief that "only I can do this," and get everyone involved—grandparents, children, partners—everyone who is part of the family. Maybe it won't be as perfect as usual, but it will be authentic, and—not only the workload but also the success—will belong to everyone.

 

It's okay, you don't have to do everything, and the world won't end if you only bake one type of cookie. You don’t need to do everything perfectly. Christmas will be more beautiful for everyone if you are relaxed and present with your loved ones! 🎁💞

 

The best Christmas moments often come from the unplanned, from letting go and simply enjoying. 🍪☕
