Choose one or two things that are important to you, and then outsource or automate the rest. For me, that means I will carefully select presents and decorate the tree with my husband. But you better believe I'm buying store bought cookies, using shortcuts like boxed stuffing and pre-made side dishes, and getting help cleaning my house afterwards! Remember that what is valued by your family and friends is your presence -- and being a stressed out, frazzled, or overworked version of yourself means you're less present. The most loving thing I think I can do sometimes is remember to genuinely connect and enjoy my time making memories with my loved ones.

When looking for gifts, I always review people's social media feeds for help. If they travel a lot flying Southwest, I will get them a Southwest giftcard. Or if they take bubble baths, I will get them some candles. It makes the gift giving experience a lot more thoughtful!
