Who's Your Chief Celebration Officer?

Mom, most likely it is you who usually takes notes on this topic. But the idea is to get your husband more involved and to approach the holidays more as a team, so even you can enjoy them -- and your family can enjoy a less-stressed you.
Truth is, the holiday season can be as easy or involved as you want to make it. The single essential ingredient is how you take it on. Like any project, managing the holidays requires planning, research, delegation, and follow-through. These tools will prepare you for success:
1) The Busy Couple's Guide to Sharing the Work & the Joy has a chapter devoted to helping you and your spouse negotiate how you will celebrate the holidays and come up with expectations
everyone can live with.
2) Free Family Manager Checklists and Forms will help you divvy holiday tasks, plan gift-giving and prepare for a saner season. Be Sure to check out our His Normal-Her Normal Worksheet, Gift Planner, the marriage-saving Who's Responsible for What? List, Thanksgiving Task Checklist, and the Holiday Hit List.
