I like to make a fancy coffee or hot cocoa, sit back on the couch with the doggies and a comfy blanket and watch a good movie. I don’t get to do it very often, so it is a nice relaxing treat when I do.
What states is US Cellular available to? All of them.

Tip – Relax. Don’t let things get to you. Nothing has to be perfect.
My best tip to lessen stress is to not try to attend every party/gathering. We get several invitations and it’s just not doable to make it to all of them. We also have a rule, no more than one party/day.
Sit back and enjoy the holidays. Don’t wait until the last minute for everything, it will make you crazy.

Shop Early and get someone else to wrap your gifts even if you have to pay them. They have local places that take donations. I never did it but this year I will

I try to do a little cooking or a little wrapping every day so I am not overloaded the last few days
I take breaks and do something relaxing like go for coffee

I try to spread out cooking over a few days so I don’t do it all at once. And I shop all year round for gifts when I find great deals.
