 The
Holiday Article By
Leslie Jacobs
Do you know the best
way to cope with stress
during the holidays?
It is a very simple,
yet effective way
to alleviate the holiday
stress. Now, with
the rushing around,
the mad dash to forget
something is eliminated
by a very simple invention.
It is the list.
Sit
down at the beginning
of the holiday season
and write everything
you need to do and
the date it needs
to be done by. Now
you have one way organized
people get stress
out of the way. Using
this list as your
basis for everything
you do this holiday
season, you will plan
your shopping trips
for food, presents,
and everything else.
Here are few more
tips to get rid of
that ache in the pit
of your stomach called
stress. |

Send Happy
New Year cards
instead of Christmas
cards. (Yes,
I am calling
it Christmas)
You can write
and mail them
after Christmas
day and still
have time to
enjoy the holiday.
Send the cards
to people you
have NOT seen
this year. Or,
better yet,
call them and
wish them a
Happy New Year.
If you have
a cell phone,
and haven’t
used all of
your minutes,
it’s a
free call.

If you do
not want to
gain the usual
8 – 12
holiday pounds,
stop eating
at 7:30 pm.
You can spend
your time wrapping
presents, re-writing
your list and
planning your
shopping trips
for maximum
time usage.
You still may
gain wait, but
not as much
as in the past.
You may actually
use this trick
for the rest
of the year. |

Look at all
of your holiday
decorations.
What aren’t
you using this
time? Did you
use them last
year? It will
probably be
the same this
year…so
pack them up,
donate everything
you didn’t
use, or don’t
love to a charity.
You will start
the New Year
conquering the
clutter. |

Look at the
list and decide
what shopping
trips you can
combine and
do both together.

Shop on line.
I did all of
my shopping
on line during
my lunch hour.
Usually I like
to wait until
December 23.
I know exactly
what I am buying
for everyone
in my family
and if the store
doesn’t
have it, the
person gets
a gift certificate.
This technique
worked until
a few years
ago when I started
shopping on
line. Most of
the presents
are bought on
eBay and everyone
loves them.
Try it. Just
remember to
use a reputable
site.

Les
Mess, organizing
cards for kids
(ages 5-12),
will help get
their room and
your house organized
and clutter-free.
Shuffle the
cards, pick
one and do what
is on the card.
Each card has
a time limit
on it. If you
finish in time
you get a prize
(Mom and Dad
do this part),
and there are
cards with ideas
of great prizes.
These prizes
do not bring
more clutter
into the house.
These organizing
cards teach
children to
put things away,
what to keep
and what to
toss. They will
learn through
getting organized,
how to sort
and will create
a habit of picking
up every day.
After all, isn’t
teaching our
kids how to
be organized
and clutter-free
a part of being
a parent…and
sometimes learning
should be fun
too! It's
NOT just a game,
it's a way of
life. |

Does your man (husband, partner, lover or boyfriend) help you with the chores while complaining all the way?
I have the perfect solution for him. I have created Les Mess for MEN. These cards offer him a choice, if he picks the right card. It could be a chore, a chance to play Golf, get out of the dog house for FREE, or a night with the boys. Or, if you prefer, I have included blank cards for YOU(the wife, partner ,lover or girlfriend) to add your own chore to. The game is simple, pick a card, do what is on the card, and then turn it over…there is something on the back you have to do too---(very easy and lots of fun!)
Every man and woman will enjoy these cards…and your house will be a home, organized and clutter-free! |
