1. 5 Tips for a Stress-Free Holiday in
Your Waterfront Home in
Pittsburgh PA

2. The holiday season is not complete without the
gifts, the home-made cooking, the parties and
the bright and lively home decorations. It sure
is fun but with all the preparations, it seems
impossible to get away from stress during this
time of the year. Spending your holidays in one
of waterfront homes for sale in Pittsburgh PA
should be a great experience with these tips on
how to reduce your stress.

4. 1. Plan ahead and be as organized as possible.
With so many things to do, chances are you will
forget something. Writing down all your tasks
and listing details should help you accomplish
everything. A planner or a simple calendar may
be helpful in accomplishing all tasks efficiently.
First, start by thinking and planning what
decorations or theme you will use for the coming
holiday season.

5. Jot down all details like the size of the Christmas
tree, what colors to match for the decorations and
the items you need to design certain parts of the
house. Next, you can start planning what food you
want to prepare and serve to your family and
friends. Make grocery lists and write down all the
ingredients you will need when cooking. Lastly, list
all the people that you would like send greeting
cards to or give gifts to so you can shop for
everything all in one go.

6. 2. Get assistance on house
chores. This time of year
requires a lot of cleaning. Hire
someone to provide cleaning
services for the whole house to
avoid additional stress.

7. 3. Let your family, especially the children,
be involved with the preparation. If you
have just bought one of the homes for sale
on the Allegheny river in Pittsburgh, you can
proceed with putting up the decorations.
This task can be done with your children's
help. If possible, you can let them be fully in-
charge of the decorations.

8. You can tell them what kind of design you
would like and give them tips on how to
decorate without spending too much. You
can also check out the waterfront homes
for sale in 3 Rivers Pittsburgh to find some
creative ideas for the holidays. That will
save time and reduce one more cause of
stress.

10. 4. Choose the gatherings you will want
to attend with the whole family. Your time
is precious, so choose what events will be
enjoyed by the whole family bringing
everyone together concentrating on the
holiday season. Learn to decline party
invitations, if possible, in order to use your
time wisely and efficiently.

11. 5. Instead of going to such parties,
you can try organizing your own
party instead. Keep it small and
intimate. Invite only those who are
very close to you. This way, there is
less time spent preparing for the
party.

12. Above all, don’t forget remember to give
yourself a rest every once in awhile so your
body can recover from all the stress-inducing
preparations. It is important that you keep in
mind the essence of the holiday season and
the joy it should bring. For even more helpful
