Some people just love Christmas and the holiday season. They revel in it.

For others, especially women, Christmas is spelt S.T.R.E.S.S.

If you:

• are sick of the whole deal
• dread the drama that happens when the whole family gets together
• hate what Christmas does to your mood and your family
• don’t want to have another huge budget blow-out this year nor that credit card debt that will take you all year to pay off
• always get to Boxing Day a physical and mental wreck

there is a better way!

We want you to feel calm.

I have felt the benefit of The Christmas Calm Manual – I’m coming up to my 3rd Christmas with its wisdom – and I’m not only a big fan, but a Christmas convert.

Before:  stress, anxiety and empty pockets from striving to achieve the “perfect” Christmas.  Anxiety came from feeling powerless to handle challenging family members.  Stress and empty pockets stemmed from years of expecting way too much from myself, and that one “perfect” day.  After all, how can you have a happy Christmas if the biscuits aren’t homemade, the roast doesn’t have all the trimmings, the tree and house don’t look spectacular, and everyone in my life doesn’t have the “perfect” gift?  Well…

After:  calm, truly happy and with money to spare.  The Manual taught me how to find and create the Christmas we all can enjoy.  I now put in place strategies to handle difficult personalities.  The whole family now creates the perfect Christmas for us, with a realistic approach to the traditions we feel worth keeping.  Budgeting and planning have put an end to credit card stress too.

Thank you Christmas Calm Angels!

Any of those you would not want this Christmas Holiday Season?

We thought so!

But don’t take our word for it!

I really found the Christmas Calm Manual very helpful and I learned things about myself like where any negative feelings were coming from. I am rather organised but I usually go into panic mode a couple of weeks before Christmas with thoughts like… “Ooooh, did I spend enough on gifts… have I got something for everyone… have I ordered the ham… etc.”

Panic, panic. But by writing everything down on the worksheets in the Manual helped me to see the big picture.

I purchased the Christmas Calm Manual because I was looking for the answer to my problem and I found it! I will be recommending it to everyone… yes I guess you could say I am very happy with the Manual and I will be pulling it out in August next year – I’m going to start very early next Christmas. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH.

I would love to share with you my Christmas experience with the marvellous book, Save Our Sanity: The Christmas Calm Manual.

I still remember the phone call I received this time last year from my mother informing me it was my turn to host the family Christmas lunch! Christmas lunch to my family means a sit down, hot meal for over 30 people. Shock, horror, panic raced through my body as I calmly accepted the challenge and pretended to be delighted.

As a rule, I ruin most meals. Just ask my three sons who are used to dinners undercooked, overcooked or not cooked at all. I love entertaining, I love the wine and the chatter, but the food preparation and presentation gets me every time. Last time I hosted a sit down Christmas lunch (some six years ago), the potatoes were ready 45 mins after the rest of the food. The chickens were overcooked and the pork just looked sad. We ate portions of lunch at different times of the day! That’s why it’s been six years since I have been honoured with this responsibility again.

But this time I was determined I could and would master the whole Christmas Day experience, including presents, decorations and catering and yes, damn it, I was going to look glamorous too! After having a mini-meltdown, my girlfriend gave me a copy of Save Our Sanity: The Christmas Calm Manual. Well, it changed my Christmas Day experience forever.

I literally worked through the book, cover to cover. I used the monthly planner and all the templates to organise everything. I even had my hairdressing appointment booked three months in advance (one has to get their priorities straight!) The food was all ordered months ahead of schedule and I would have to say, it was the best Christmas Day any members of my family has ever hosted. So much so, nobody would leave. Christmas Day extended well into the night. After all there was still enough fabulous food to go around.

And to top it all off, I looked sensational! I managed to float around all day organising everything with a champagne constantly in my hand.

I can thoroughly recommend this sensational read and genuinely congratulate the authors, Chris and Karen, for such clever insight and intuitive advice.
