During the hubbub of the holidays, it's easy to get caught up in the material aspect of giving gifts, Peter says. Instead of stressing yourself with too much shopping, Peter says you should concentrate on your favorite part of the holidays, such as a family dinner or worshipping at church, and make that experience the best it can be for you and your loved ones. "It's very much about the celebration, not about the gifts," he says. "Simplify the season and distill it down to what are the most important things, then organize for that."
