How does Hilary Erickson recommend organizing Christmas to avoid stress?

Hilary Erickson recommends several strategies to organize Christmas and avoid stress.

Firstly, for gifts, she suggests hiding them in places like luggage or under the bed. It's also helpful to keep a list of what you've bought to ensure balance among recipients.

When it comes to decorations, Hilary recommends separating Christmas items into specific bins, preferably red and green ones. She also suggests limiting the amount of decor to the storage space you have and opting for decorations that can be flattened or squished down for easy storage.

For parties, Hilary advises that they don't have to be huge to be fun. She enjoys simple gatherings like potlucks or white elephant gift exchanges. She also mentions the possibility of virtual parties, which can be just as enjoyable.

Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of not constantly buying more things, as this can lead to stress when Christmas ends and you realize everything doesn't fit in your house.
