Once the Thanksgiving feast becomes the stuff of sandwiches and soup, the holiday season officially begins. (Welcome!) It also ushers in an ideal opportunity to reflect on the wisdom of the K.I.S.S. formula.
Wikipedia tells us K.I.S.S. “is a modern acronym for the empirical principle, ‘Keep It Short and Simple,’ or the more recent and disparaging ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid.’” Whichever phrasing resonates most with you, the important thing is to take heed and keep your wits about you during this busy time. Simplify your life this holiday season by identifying sources of distress, be they related to money, relationships, health, or something else, and do what you can to minimize the mess. K.I.S.S. for the holidays!
This week, our bloggers will describe some of the things that ruffled their holiday feathers until they figured out crafty ways to K.I.S.S. After all, our mission at the credit union is to do all we can to simplify your life, so let our words be your mistletoe and K.I.S.S. away!
What tactics do you and/or your family put in place to K.I.S.S. during the holidays?
This is the first year my husband’s family has agreed to draw names for gift giving to the youngest generation, a wonderful development! My husband and I each drew one name, which means that, as a couple, we’ll purchase three fewer gifts this year. Every little bit helps; plus, all the young people want to do is hang out together anyway. It’s been a great tactic so far to keep things simple!
