I couldn't do Christmas without the help of my wife.
I have a good idea of what to buy but slowly do it over November and December, always forgetting something and having to do last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve.
My wife helps out by wrapping and hiding the presents. But since I'm usually up past midnight, it's my task to put the presents under the tree and stock the stocking stuffers.
Without it being a joint effort, I don't think I could do it alone as it's just so much as there are also family gatherings, which my wife cooks and prepares for, and other holiday planning that we both take care of.

My main commitment goes to what matters most to me and my family . I try to avoid pointless anxiety and take care of me too.
My approach to holiday stress management is maintaining simplicity as much as possible. I dedicates my efforts to creating enriching experiences rather than making expensive purchases. This way, I'm able to relieve myself of the stress.
