Creating a Simply Joyous Christmas

What do you want to do to make Christmas special and memorable? Go caroling with friends? Throw a Christmas party? Make gifts with all the pictures you've taken? Have time to spend with the people you love?
If you have a creative bent, there's no better time to do something with your creativity than during the Christmas season. Whether your skill lies towards watercolors, photography, baking, decorating or throwing a party, you've got exactly what it takes to create a fabulous Christmas.

Create a fabulous Christmas, lovely handmade gifts, and be ready with a plate of cookies for Santa even with less than two weeks to The Big Day.
It comes down to throwing out the detail (that means you can toss the 42-point to-do list), get some focus, turn on Nat King Cole and get creating.

There's a lot to love about the holidays, but the stress and too-much-to-do-busyness I can do without!
After several years of trying to do it all, I jumped off the holiday craziness and initiated a re-do in my holiday practices.
It's my goal to encourage you to say no to the unnecessary, say yes to the most important and reclaim the holiday season -from Thanksgiving to New Year's- as the most wonderful time of the year.
When it's not the holiday season, I help busy women experience more creativity and beauty-filled lives with art and lifestyle classes and workshops.
Get inspired in your own journaling and painting, take a free mini-workshop, see the selection of classes and more at www.thecreativeseason.com.
