Busy At Christmas In Home Business
As a home business owner, chances are you may need an extra pair of hands during the holiday season. While young children often help through the year, Christmas is an exciting but busy time for children and families.
Service Or Retail Business
If you have a service business, you may be sending out Christmas cards or end of year Thank You cards. The holidays are also a peak selling time if you have a retail business.
Are There Ways You Can Involve Your Children?
Rather than feeling guilty because you are so busy, are there ways you can involve your children in your festive season business preparations?
There may be some behind the scenes activities they can assist with such as creative gift wrapping. Even a young child can do potato prints. Older children could put the Christmas seals on cards you send to clients.
Crafty kids could do more fancy wrapping with ribbons or help with gift baskets. Perhaps they could help with a Christmas display or decorations.
How Do You Involve Your Children In Your Home Business at Christmas?
I’d love you to share your tips for keeping your work-home life balance during the holiday season, and maybe inspiring some budding young entrepreneurs.
