Looking for ways to destress during the holidays

I love the holiday season, but I also realize that my self-care goes totally out the window. I am busy being so busy that I don't take time to do things to keep myself in a good place mentally by the end. I feel like I worry about making the holidays special for everyone around me and then I am exhausted and drained.

Any tips or suggestions for keeping myself as a priority during these hectic times would be greatly appreciated 😍

What I would say to you (or anyone) is something I would say to myself as well. That we, as much as we want to make this time special for everyone around us, really aren't responsible for the feelings of others. And to that end, it is absolutely okay for us, even in the holiday season, to still prioritize our own self-care so we don't get burned out or stressed.

I do recognize that this so much easier said than done, however. :)
