The Eleventh Gift of Christmas

Christmas is a fantastic time to recharge batteries and relax with family and friends. I know if you have small children and a family, there is a lot involved in terms of presents and food preparation, but hopefully once the main day itself is over, you can get a bit of time for yourself. Time to reflect on the year gone by. Time to plan for the year ahead and most importantly, time to sleep.

Working mothers in particular really need the time over Christmas to calm down and focus on themselves if possible. You may only get 6 hours sleep a night during the working year if you're lucky. If your husband or parents or parents-in-law can take the kids off your hands for a couple of afternoons over the holiday season and you go to bed for those few hours, ideally to sleep, or read fashion magazines, or just dream, that is real time out for you. This will hopefully move you towards 2010 reaxed and ready to begin anew. Try it, it works!
