Ever found yourself caught in the whirlwind of holiday expectations, only to realize you've done more napping than prepping? In this episode of the Only Child Diaries podcast, I'm laughing about holiday burnout and the pitfalls of overambitious holiday plans. Picture this: a Thanksgiving spent blissfully snoozing until noon, followed by the inevitable 3 a.m. insomnia. Despite the quiet celebration with just my husband, the pressure to be productive was alive and well, leading to a grand achievement of...cleaning a single hummingbird feeder! You'll relate to the humor and irony of planning big while winding up with small victories.
Let's not forget the festive flair of holiday decorating—a task that promises both joy and a few neighborly laughs. This year, our town's holiday decorating contest prompted me to add ten poinsettia plants to my outdoor display, earning me compliments from the neighbors. So, if you've ever felt the tug-of-war between grand holiday ambitions and the cozy pull of laziness, tune in for a lighthearted take on embracing creativity and chaos during the festive season.
