In This Article:

It's that time of year again! Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and it's time to start planning for the perfect Christmas for your family.

From finding the perfect gifts to creating a festive atmosphere, there are plenty of ways to make your holiday season even more special. In this blog post, we'll be sharing our top three tips to help you plan the perfect Christmas for your family. So read on to find out how to make this Christmas one to remember!

Set a Budget

One of the most important steps to planning the perfect Christmas for your family is to set a budget. By establishing a budget, you can ensure that you have the resources available to make this holiday season special and memorable for everyone. Before you start shopping for gifts, food, decorations, or any other items related to the holiday, take a moment to determine how much money you are able to allocate for Christmas.

Once you have your budget in place, you can begin to think about what kind of activities your family would enjoy doing together. One great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit is to watch some classic Christmas shows and movies. Whether you choose to gather around the TV for a viewing of Home Alone or find an outdoor screening of A Christmas Story, these festive films are sure to bring joy and laughter to your family. Make sure to include some time for making popcorn and hot cocoa as well!

Create a Gift Wish List

Creating a gift wish list for your family can be a great way to ensure that everyone has something special to open on Christmas Day. Start by talking to each member of your family and finding out what they would like this holiday season. Keep in mind that gift wish lists can include more than just physical presents – think experiences, activities, or even Christmas shows and movies they’d like to watch together. Have everyone write down their wishes and store them somewhere accessible, like a shared online document or a whiteboard in the kitchen. This will help you keep track of the items and ideas that are most important to your family so that no one gets left out come December 25th.

Choose a Theme

Christmas is the time of year to gather with friends and family and create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. When it comes to planning the perfect Christmas, one way to make it extra special is by choosing a festive theme. Whether your family loves Christmas shows and movies, snow-filled winter wonderlands, or simply wants to show off its holiday spirit, there are many ways to bring the joys of the season to life.

One fun way to embrace the holiday cheer is by using Christmas shows and movies as inspiration for decorating and activities. If you’re looking to add some extra holiday cheer to your gathering, consider hosting a family movie night featuring classic Christmas movies like A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th Street. You can also plan a themed party around popular Christmas shows such as The Grinch or A Charlie Brown Christmas. Invite your guests to dress up in their favorite characters from the show and have everyone vote for the best dressed.

No matter what type of holiday fun your family is looking for, Christmas shows and movies can be a great source of inspiration for creating lasting memories. With a little imagination and planning, you can turn any gathering into an unforgettable Christmas experience.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
