Tinsel, To-Do Lists, and Total Mayhem
December brings more than just twinkly lights and peppermint everything—it brings chaos. Calendars fill up with holiday parties, school concerts, shopping sprees, and last-minute errands. Even the most festive folks can feel overwhelmed when the “most wonderful time of the year” turns into a full-blown frenzy.

Start with a Deep Breath (and a Good List)
When stress levels climb higher than the neighborhood light display, it helps to pause and breathe. Start by writing everything down. Seeing tasks in one place makes them feel more manageable—and checking them off? Incredibly satisfying. Organize your list by priority, and don’t be afraid to say no to the extras. You don’t have to bake cookies for every event or attend every ugly sweater party. Balance matters.

Small Moments, Big Impact
Finding calm doesn’t require hours of free time (because let’s be real—who has that in December?). Take ten minutes for a walk, a cup of cocoa, or a dance break in the kitchen. Listen to your favorite playlist, light a candle, or turn your phone off for a bit. These tiny breaks can refresh your mood and help you reset.

Protecting Your Peace—Literally
While you work on protecting your peace, don’t forget to protect your home, too. Holiday season often means extra guests, more driving, and higher risks of fire or theft. Now is a great time to double-check your insurance coverage. Got new gifts coming in? Think about adding them to your homeowners or renters policy. Traveling for the holidays? Make sure your auto insurance is ready for winter roads.
