gift-giving

Recorded December 5, 2020

Questions/Topics:

Getting ready for Christmas can be stressful. Who am I kidding it IS stressful in our camp. I know 'Tis the season and all, but for real for real, we are looking at a mound of tasks to do and consider between now and Christmas day.  Girrrl... this mound is looking more like a mountain. 

We are:

• online ordering all the things and tracking all our packages (we are also behind schedule)
• planning our Christmas dinner menus ( probably downsizing it though)
• decorating our homes inside and out
• working full time

We are busy.

This episode covers our anxieties and excitement around the upcoming holiday. Laughter is the best medicine. Chuckle with us.

The holidays mean family and fun, carols and candles, good food and gratitude, shining lights and festive spirits. But they also mean stress and burden if we overcommit, overspend, and overwhelm ourselves with fresh clutter. In episode #45 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, suggests lightening your load and brightening your life by focusing preparations on what the season means to you.

What does it mean when we give something away or when we decide to hold onto things? In episode #44 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, talks about ownership, gift-giving, and how our judgments of value impact our decision-making about what we keep and what we’re willing to let go.
