Tackling Christmas Extravagance

How do you firmly and sensitively impose limits on others in regards to Christmas gifts.Todays episode is in response to a listen question: "My children are 3 and 5 and the only grandchildren for my and my husband’s parents. The number of gifts we receive at Christmas is overwhelming and quite stressful. I’ve had a frank conversation with my parents about sticking to a limited number of presents. This has worked pretty well.My mother-in-law is a bit harder. I don’t feel the freedom to be as frank with her. She loves giving gifts, and has taken offense in the past to the suggestion of experience gifts.Please help! For many reasons I don’t want to continue having an outlandish Christmas celebration at her house that results in a packed car and a very stressed out mama.In this episode I share my response to this email with my top tips and tricks to enjoying a less stressful/ less extravagant Christmas.You may also like to listen to these episodes:Christmas BlenderChristmas FunctionsChristmas Gifts and WrapChristmas DecorationsChristmas ScheduleChristmas HolidaysJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.
