Is your social media content Holiday ready?
When the children were little, we'd have our Christmas/Kwanzaa tree up a few days before November 25th.
You see, I didn't want to fuss over everything at the last minute. I think its the event planner/teacher in me.
The reason I wanted the tree and decorations up so early was due to the fact that, I wanted the Holidays, to be moments of reflection, family moments and memories.
As the children got older and were no longer interested in gifts under the tree, I found myself putting up the tree later and later until one year, I didn't put up a tree at all. And for the first time in a long time, I realized that putting up that tree, going back downstairs three of four times to make sure no one had gotten up and turned the lights back on and things like that, had made things more stressful than I had thought.
Now, the only time I put up a tree is if family is coming from out of town or if a baby is born in the family. When do you put up a tree?
