Your Holiday Checklist Reimagined to Focus on What Matters [LIST]
You've probably heard "no presents, be present", but what about the other items on your holiday list?
I consider myself a list-oriented person. I like making them and I certainly love crossing items off of them. I'm sure this will only become more exacerbated as I get older and begin a family of my own. Do you have a list of things you need to get done before Christmas? Or maybe things you would like to do before the year is over?
Maybe it's not in ink, but you probably can rattle off a few items.
I was inspired by an Instagram post I saw last week that took two or three items on a Christmas To-Do list and reimagined them to incorporate the things that matter most this time of year; family, loved ones, those less fortunate, etc. So I decided to come up with my own and I hope that this will encourage you the same way it did me.
