Minimalist Holiday: Your Guide to a Simple and Joyful Holiday Season

October 29, 2020 by Mirlandra Leave a Comment

Are you overwhelmed by Thanksgiving or Christmas?  Do you cringe inside when you think of ALL the things that you NEED to do?  It is time to reclaim some JOY and peace this holiday season.  Weather you are hunkering down for a quiet holiday at home or gathering with family these suggestions will help you simplify the holidays to find more joy and choose less stress.

It is easy to launch into the holiday season with excitement only to wake up in January exhausted, broke, and miserable.  Why?  That isn’t a choice I want to make!  But it is easy to arrive there without meaning to.  Instead dare to be different this year.  Take charge and CHOOSE your destiny instead of letting it choose you.  

Suggestions to Simplify Your Holiday Season 

 

Meal Planning Every Day Dinners During The Holiday Season

During the holiday season I take a few minutes each week to plan our meals.  As I set the plans in place I look for simple, wholesome, comforting meals.  Dinnertime is an important part of the day for our family to gather together an be nourished body and soul.  It is a time of connection that is even more important during a season of visiting relatives and holiday activities.

Holiday Traditions & Memories 

There are plenty of options for side dishes all made from scratch in the deli area.

Jonathan was most excited about the gigantic seafood platters! If you want some wonderful platters to impress over the holidays they have you covered.

If you have a lot of company arriving on Wednesday consider ordering some platters for a snacky dinner. You don’t have to cook or go to a restaurant! Just enjoy the company, some wonderful food, and get ready for Thursday.

 

We spent the most time hanging out with the butchers. Smoked turkey, prime rib, seafood dips! It was all sensational. Albertsons had a wide variety of meats on offer for the Holiday Season. If you need special ingredients for a homemade meal or need to order a full dinner they are a one stop shop!

I read each and every comment and I try to respond to questions asap, so ask away! If you’ve made a recipe, I would love to hear about it! Please come back and share your experience and give the recipe a 5-star rating so other people will know how much you loved it!
