The Burnout Queen’s 12 Days of Holiday Stress Relief will help you through.

Day 1:  On The First Day Of….Make A List!  Make 2!

List everything you have to do, should do, ought to do, would like to do, have promised to do during the holidays.  Then get real!

Immediately cross off the ‘shoulds and ought tos’ and then divvy your tasks up  with this fabulously simple method.

First:  Focus on your ‘Absolute Musts’.  These are pretty obvious.

Second:  Decide on your ‘Great Ifs’. You know these ones, “Time permitting it would be ‘great if’ I could get to [fill in the blank]”.

Third:  [Oh we love these] ‘If onlys’!  “If all Santa’s helpers showed-up I could paint my whole house in 2 days time!”  And, Mrs. Claus would supply the treats!

Of course Christmas is a magical time, but save the magic for sugar plums and not your To Do list!

It’s good to believe,

About to Snap Like a Christmas Kracker?

The Burnout Queen’s 12 Days of Holiday Stress Relief will help you through.

T’was the month before Christmas and we were thinking and thinking about a gift to send to all of our readers.  What to do, what to do?  First, make a list of good ideas (always a starter)…

Good news, that list already exists!  Such a perfect place to start…

 

A Partridge in a Pear Tree…Well there are enough chic chic butchers in London to definitely find a partridge, but how to stuff it in the mailing box?!

2 Turtle Doves…Definitely cute, but would prefer chocolate turtles!

3 French Hens…What’s with all the poultry?

4 Calling Birds…These days it should probably be 4 Birds a tweeting!

5 Golden Rings…Now we’re talking!  Jewellery!  Definitely Burnout Queen Style.

6 Geese a Laying…Ok , this bird fetish thing is just getting weird!

7 Swans a Swimming…Out of the question, the Queen owns all the swans!

8 Maids a Milking… Can do the Maids, but the cows pose another issue!

9 Ladies Dancing…Out in Soho still looking…(see 10 below!)

10 Lords a Leaping…Far too many men in tights!

11 Pipers Piping…Bagpipes hmmm, definitely an acquired taste.

12 Drummers Drumming…In the right setting, this could work!

 

So we made the list and checked it twice, but (sigh) no perfect gift was found.  We will just have to do what we do best and offer you 12 Days of Holiday Stress Relief!

Watch for Day 1 tomorrow!
