OolaGuru Comment: It's official, Christmas is less than one month away! This is a very busy and chaotic time for many (including me) but I came upon this blog the other day by The Nester (http://www.incourage.me/). She really encouraged me to take the time to reflect on what I really what to do this Christmas season. Check out her 3 goals for this holiday season that I believe we could all benefit from...
Every year I write a post called Do Less Be More. And every year I wonder if I really do it. It’s fun to declare what I’m not doing and wag my finger at Christmas stress before Thanksgiving. But it doesn’t really matter unless I follow through.
Here are my main three ideas that I want to do this Christmas season:
Focus on People
Say yes to friends, snuggle with my boys and husband, enjoy doing things together even the things I wouldn’t choose to do.
Be Generous
With my time and money and be mindful of others, that last one seems so simple but I feel like I haven’t had my brain for the past two months and being mindful has somehow escaped me.
Slow the Season
Avoid hurry. Watch White Christmas too many times. Cook lots of meals. Sit on the sofa with friends. Take walks in the cold. Keep the computer closed. Rejoice, with the weary world.

Great advice! It's easy to get lost in the daily stresses of life, but to share in happiness with others, makes it so much more enjoyable.
