Please leave a comment to this post and share ideas you or someone you know has used to simplify at Christmas. How have you made Christmas less stressful? What things have helped you and/or your family/friends to focus more on Christ and the true meaning of Christmas? Are there any traditions that have assisted you in this?
We are also looking for a few people who would be willing to share their thoughts (for about 2min) at the Enrichment Meeting on December 10th. Commenting her does not obligate you to speak, so don't worry! We will incorporate the ideas shared here into our program on the 10th.
Thank you!

I've tried to only get decorations for Christmas that have more obvious ties to the Savior and His birth- ie not so much Santa Claus and Snowmen and stuff. Not to say that I don't have any of those, but I'm trying to be more selective. Having less decorations is one way that I'm trying to simplify, because it takes less time to set them up and more importantly, less time to take them down which is not that fun to do.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, we always strung popcorn and cranberries discussing the symbolism of the colors and how they related to the Atonement. Our tree was always trimmed in read and white. I still love those colors on a tree and the smell of popcorn and cranberries.
