Just in Time for the Holidays
Holidays should be a time of togetherness with friends and family, but so many of us associate the holidays with stress, excessive spending, too many trips to the mall, fighting for a parking space, crowds, airplane trips with overweight luggage, attending all those holiday parties and trying to figure out what to wear.
Holidays should be a wonderful time, but at times we let the moment get away from us.
Colleen would love to help with a few suggestions to help bring back the holiday cheer:
Holidays should be a wonderful time, but at times we let the moment get away from us.
Colleen would love to help with a few suggestions to help bring back the holiday cheer:
- The holiday office parties including exchanging gifts, gifts for the hosts, what to wear,
and when to arrive (and leave), or should you even attend? - RSVPs and thank you notes
- Gifts for your children's teacher for the holidays
- Having gifts in reserve and "regifting." What happens if you are given a gift and do not
have one in return? - Holiday cards
- Tipping for the holidays
All of this and much more can be very tricky including how much do you spend, do you continue to give a gift to a person you are not as close over the past year, do you give the boss a gift and does the boss give his/her employees a gift? Remember that this special time of the year is shared and celebrated differently by various cultures and religions, so handling them properly will help avoid any faux pas.
Come and share this interactive luncheon to ask questions you have always wondered or to gain a little insight to help make this time of the year more enjoyable. Keep the holidays fun and a time to share with family and friends.
