Christmas can be stress-free
by Emma Pomfret
5 TIS the season to be jolly, but if you usually end up feeling like sticking your
head in the oven along with the stuffed turkey come Christmas Day, you are cer
tainly not alone. The combined pressures of
e . ' \
endless shopping trips, enter taining distant relatives and trying to keep the hordes of excited children occupied can take all the fun out of the fes tive season and leave you feeling anj'thing but merry-. But, according to Harley
Street hypnotherapist and psy chotherapist Tricia Woolfrey, one of the main reasons that stress levels often reach fever- pitch by Christmas Day is that we all have wildly unrealistic expectations about how it is supposed to turn out. “Christmas can be a very
stressful time as everyone is expecting an idealised experi ence - the whole family around the piano having a jolly time, goodwill abounding,” she explains. “Planning is the key - what
ever y-ou do, you need to plan Christmas well in advance to minimise the pressure. “Be realistic about the prepa
rations - for example, there are lots of delicious ready-made foods, which are excellent and will save you lots of time.” Tricia also recommends

deciding very early on just how much of your Christmas budget can be spent on food and drink, and how much you want to splash out on gifts tor family and friends. “Make a list of what you will
buy each person and stick to it - sometimes the simplest pre sents are actually the best,” she suggests. “Consider it a family rule
that no present should exceed a nominal amount. This can be really fun and will waken up those creative juices, while avoiding family- rivalry over who spent the most money.” Finally, she advises try-ing to
relax and enjoy- the big day- by simply allowing yourself not to be perfect - just this once. “The most fun can be had by
what goes wrong rather than what goes right,” she smiles. “Don’t take it all too serious
ly- and you will enjoy- it more - too many people suffer from sense-of-humour failure and this can really feed into family tensions.” Consider having people to
yours at Christmas - it is a lot of planning, but means you can see more people while avoiding ‘tour-exhaustion’ and too many Christmas dinners.
The countdown starts now: B Make a Christmas card list
- there are several mail merge computer programs which will make the addressing of envelopes easier and quicker. H Buy your Christmas cards
- it is awful to have to make do with the shop left-overs. Have them printed with a personal greeting to save you even more time and create a positive impression. B I t you have not already
devised a fitness program, start one now - you want to be able to manage your weight during this high-calorie season.

Taking the pain out of shopping
feet ache, your head throbs. In among the crowds you cannot find the
O
things you are after. You buy the wrong colour or size of one or two items. Finally you give up in disgust, exhausted, and with your shopping list still amazingly long. But that is not the only painful thing
about Christmas shopping - there is the sheer expense of it all. Somehow you have just got your budget balanced, finances ticking over gently and satisfactorily, and a little going away for holidays or that rainy day when, bam, Christmas arrives. You have no choice but to blow the lot on gifts for family and friends, food you would not dream of buying at any other time of the year, and decorations for your home that really looks well enough without. Of course you could ignore the whole
thing, do a Scrooge and cry “Humbug” at the whole business, but... well you can’t. Christmas is Christmas after all and if it wasn’t there we would have to invent it. Fortunately there are ways of making
the shopping a great deal less painful on two counts. Shopping early means you can forestall
the crowds, visit the shops in comparative comfort and gain the full attention of relaxed, unharassed shop assistants. Shopping early means you have a good
choice of the full range of goods stocked by shops and stores - before the crowds have depleted them. You will be able to find all the colours, sizes and special makes you want and, if some shops do not stock what

you need, you have time, energy and opportunity to shop around till you find those that do. Shopping early means you do not need to
try to buy everything on one expedition. You can shop for one or two items at a time and concentrate on getting your purchases exactly right. As a result, you are less tired, more alert and less likely to buy the wrong thing. But there is an even better bonus. Shopping early means you can spread
the cost. No need to blow your all at one fell swoop. Buy things one or two at a time, starting as early on in the year as you can, and you will hardly notice the outgoings. You can in fact budget for your Christmas spending so, over the months or weeks pre ceding Christmas, your budget will suffer less. Your nest egg won’t suddenly 'hatch' and fly away. And you won’t feel that deep, nagging resentment at the enforced deple tion of your resources. So, next year, shop
early.lt is easier, more
enjoyable, kinder on your budget, your body and your mind. In short, shopping early is a great deal less painful all round!

® Continued from previous page B Make a shopping list of all the food and drink
you need. Doing it this early will give you time to add to it at your leisure
ONE MONTH B Buy all the frozen foods and non-perishables to
stock up your cupboards. Do not forget the crackers, napkins and any other table decorations you would like. B Make sure you have enough alcohol, mixers and
soft drinks - and make it your business to know what everybody likes. B Send off your cards on the first day of December
- a few weeks earlier if you have any international post.
ONE WEEK B Make this a team effort and give everyone their
jobs for the week - for example, one person buys the groceries, another picks up the turkey, another the booze, the tree, etc. B For the actual day, delegate someone to keep all
the drinks topped up, another to make sure that the CDs are changed regularly, a diplomat who can dif fuse any arguments that may occur, a washing up team, someone to organise the party games and a

with Christmas music and a glass of mulled wine to put you in the mood. fl Wrap the presents and arrange under the Christ

ONE DAY B Prepare the vegetables and the gravy ready for
cooking - these will be fine for the next day. B Make sure your dishwasher has done its job with
all the dishes - you are going to need every little thing for tomorrow. B Set and decorate the Christmas dinner table. B Put a mince pie and a glass of sherry out for
Santa. B Put out the Christmas stockings for the kids.
