Stress levels may rise. At the end of the day, exhaustion sets in.

| Even Santa and Mrs. Claus make time for alone time. |
Here a few tips to "keep it together" during the holiday season.
* Try not to schedule to many things to do right after each other. Give yourself time between each one.
* Take time to sit with your honey and make a list of things you enjoy the most about the holiday. This will not only give you quality time together, but also help keep you in the Christmas spirit.
*Schedule certain things from your list to do together. Yes... write it down! Make a date of it.
*Speak with family members in advance. Schedule family face time or Zoom gathering with those you won't be able to be with in person.
* Plan meals in advance. Do meal prep with your honey.
* Fight gifting stress. Limit gift giving, promote thoughtful giving. Take a day for you and your honey to visit local shops. Grab an adult beverage or hot cocoa and sit together to do online shopping.
*Help each other. Spending time together and taking care of a "chore" at the same time.
*As a couple, think of a new family tradition you can create this year.
