In the December 2015 Friend, There is a story called Making Room for Christmas. You may or may not want to read this with your family. Here is a link:
Here is a quick summary of the story:
A girl was faced with a full schedule for every day that December. A friend invited her family to go caroling on the same night that they were to go to an ice-skating party. There were several things like this throughout their month, so her mother finally decided to sit the family down and under-schedule the month. They chose only one event for each night that they were double booked, and they decided to not go to some events so they could spend time with family instead. They felt better and more relaxed about their month after doing this.

Give each member of your family one of these handouts:
