Do Women Like The Holidays?

This post is sponsored by Blogitive.

When I was married and the holidays came around, I had to grin and bear it. I really don't like the holidays, particularly Christmas. It's not about the significance of the holiday, it's about the amount of work one has to do to get a household ready for the holidays. There's cooking and decorating and buying presents and wrapping them. I don't know about anyone else, but my husband wasn't a whole lot of help although he wanted his holiday "just so." The holidays are too much work, ladies!

So, what I suggest (which I used to suggest all the time but no one took me up on it) is to make the holidays easier on yourself. Buy a turkey that's already cooked and stuffed. Get your kids to clean the house for you. Oh, and get that lazy husband to pitch in too. If he wants his holiday "just so" then he should pitch in.

I used to love places that sold baskets and tins of candies and goodies online. I just had to pick one out, and voila! Another person crossed off my list. Companies like GourmetGiftBaskets.com have Christmas Gift Baskets which are filled with gourmet products. GourmetGiftBaskets.com claim they make the perfect gift for clients, colleagues, office parties, housewarmings or for any other occasion. They even wrap it in pretty holiday paper or for any theme you request. So, make life easier on yourself and have someone else do the work so you too can enjoy the holidays. And, you may end up having to do a little less cooking too.
