Easy December Menu Plans for When Holidays are Hard

It’s time for homemaking through the holidays with JOY! Starting today and every Monday this month I’m going to have Easy December Menu Plans for When Holidays are Hard to help you at least with the meal planning and some emotional support this month.

Many of the recipes I’ll be showing you in today’s video (scroll down) are already on my blog and will be appearing on my blog throughout the month as needed, but that’s not all I’ve done! I have done a whole host of additional footwork for you and I’ll be telling you all about it in today’s video. FYI, I’ve made a menu plan for you for the entire month of December. We will be using this menu plan for January as well because it’s filled with too many goodies to have just once!

The menu plan comes with

• a menu plan for 4 weeks
• a shopping list for each week
• a master shopping list
• a page of budget grocery tips
• a blank shopping list for you to use in case I forgot an item
• a recipe sheet for you to print and duplicate for your favorite recipes
• a holiday menu plan that can adjusted and used for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, AND even Easter!

Easy December Menu Plans for When Holidays are Hard

It is one of the busiest months of the year from mothers everywhere. When a mama is dealing with a loss or other hardship, it can be mentally overwhelming. For those estranged from family members, or who have a family member/members who don’t value them, or seem to care to choose to spend time with them and their family, it can be a sad time.

I have more experience in this area than I honestly wish I had, and so we’re going to talk about that in today’s video. It’s a hard topic and the holidays can be hard for some people because of this. I’m going to be speaking specifically of estrangement and loss. My goal is to help you to transcend the sadness, anxiety, and negativity, and have a peaceful season that you can enjoy with your family and glorify the Lord in.
