Hi guys and welcome back to Blogmas day 5! It's crazy how quick Christmas is coming. Anyways, for day 5, I wanted to let you guys in on some tips to help make this holiday less hectic for you. Although Christmas time is a marvelous time, it's a chaotic time. The last-minute shopping, the final exams (college kids, I'm rooting for y'all), and more crazy things that can come with the holiday. So let's get into the tips!

1. Don't wait until last minute

This could go for anything but, I'm pretty sure you all know that when you wait last minute for anything, you'll put unnecessary stress on yourself and it doesn't even have to be like that. Make sure you guys plan things out. Say for example you're going to get all your family members their gifts for Christmas on Monday and it's Sunday night, plan it out now and then start getting their gifts tomorrow. Take it day by day and you should have everyone's gifts in the middle of the week.

2. Make boundaries with your family

This really goes to my young adults... my college kids. It’s cool if your family members are curious about school but, please do not ask us questions. Don’t ask us questions about classes, we don’t wanna talk about that or think about that while opening gifts. Don’t ask me if I’m dating anyone right now, that’s none of your business. And it’s okay to tell people that you don’t feel like talking about any of that stuff right now or if you don’t want to talk about it period.

3. Amazon Prime

... become a member for Amazon Prime and your life will ultimately change.

4. Give yourself a break

Y'all have to remember to give yourselves the credit where it's due and you guys also have to realize that you're not in control of everything so give yourselves a break.

5. STICK TO A BUDGET!

This is probably one of the biggest things I could tell y'all to do. It's nice to make sure everyone in the fam has a gift but, make sure you're sticking to a budget. You all may still need money to buy yourselves something or other people something. Say for example you're doing a gift exchange with three of your friends. You all have to buy each other a gift. On a list, you guys can ask each other what you all want with a $15-$20 budget and you can get your friends a good amount of things throughout that budget.
