If I were to ask you, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you realize Christmas is fast-approaching?
Traffic? Shopping for gifts?
Parties?
Do you know what these words have
in common?
They make you stressed.
The traffic is horrible no matter
what time of day. You spend hours in the mall or online searching for the
perfect gifts. And planning the countless parties definitely drives you crazy.
The kitchen is the busiest spot in your house especially if you are the one
hosting the parties. Let me share with you some tips on how to have a
stress-free Christmas holiday season.
Take the minimalist approach in decorating.
You don’t have to spend a fortune
to give your home a Christmas vibe. A simple accent décor can already provide a
cheery mood that will remind you of Christmas.
A must have in every bathroom in my house is a box of facial tissue. The Sanicare Liwanag Christmas Boxes give a holiday touch on the bathroom counter.
Prepare the home for family gathering.
It is never too early to prepare.
You’ll only find yourself panicking if you keep on delaying. Make a list of
things to do. Start stocking up your pantry. If there are people staying over
your home for the holiday, make sure that your home makes them feel
comfortable.
Make dining an unforgettable
experience. How about giving your dining table a special touch? Bring out those
special occasion dinnerware and festive centerpiece for a visual piece. I keep the Christmas cards I receive and incorporate them in the decoration.
Gastronomically satisfying meals
mean exhaustive hours of preparation and cooking, piles of dirty pots and pans,
and cleaning up the kitchen. I used to do everything on my own. You know – the
“I’m the queen of the kitchen” kind of thing. But after years of holding on so
tightly on my crown, I finally decided to share cooking and cleaning duties to
those who have been offering help. Didn’t made me less of a queen. Letting
other members of the family cook also gave them the chance to showcase their
cooking skills.
How about those who didn’t cook
get to clean up? Fair enough? It’s actually a great opportunity to get the kids
involve. They could help with simple tasks of tidying like wiping the kitchen
counter and place mats.
We love being with our loved ones
during Christmas. It is our opportunity to spend quality time with our family
but we can’t deny that it is very nerve-wrecking. Despite the hassle and extra
work we have to do, what makes it special is that it gives us the chance to be
selfless too. It makes us give one of the most precious thing on earth to our
loved ones – our time. After all, Christmas is all about giving.
Sanicare has come out with
special Christmas prints for their kitchen towels and they are also releasing a
specially designed boxes called Liwanag Christmas Boxes. These boxes were
designed by artist Alex Eduque, the founder of MovEd.
Alex chose to use parols in her
design because she believes parols are a symbolic representation that evoke a
notion of promise and unification. It also transcends social classes and lights
up all Filipino homes. The stars in the design is a constant reminder that we
share the same sky and despite the stark differences and circumstances in all
corners of the world, that each one of us has a star shining brightly within.
