Positive Ways to Focus All That Holiday Energy

As the holidays approach, it feels like someone cranked up the energy level in our house. My boys get so excited about Christmas time and all that's happening at the North Pole! It's definitely one of our favorite holidays.

While I love all that excitement and enthusiasm, it can make it difficult to get my boys to sit down and focus on their homeschool work. Or anything not related to Christmas.

Instead of getting frustrated or giving up, I choose to use their interest in the holidays to my advantage. Although we enjoy an eclectic and relaxed approach to homeschooling, I still expect my boys to complete their assignments.

To make it easier and more enjoyable for all of us, I sprinkle a fun holiday twist on their homeschool assignments. Over the years, I've discovered that these small changes make a world of difference AND are positive ways to spark creativity.
