Forget perfect. Remember real.

Tired of the soul-crushing holiday stress to create a Pinterest-perfect celebration? The Art of Imperfect Holidays is your survival guide for holiday anxiety relief—a funny, practical permission slip to ditch perfection, set boundaries, and actually enjoy the season. It's time to stop performing and start living.

Let’s be honest: the “perfect” holiday is a scam.
Your favorite influencer? Hiding a mountain of dirty dishes off-camera. The neighbor with the glowing lawn? Untangling lights while swearing in the bushes. Grandma’s flawless pie? She bought it at Costco.

Equal parts warm hug and gentle roast, The Art of Imperfect Holidays will guide you through letting go of perfect while managing expectations and embracing imperfection with a healthy dose of self-compassion this holiday season.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The 80% Rule: Because aiming for B-minus frees up 100% of your sanity.
• Disaster Reframes: Turn burnt roasts and family feuds into future classic stories.
• Good Enough Hosting Tips: Paper plates. Store-bought pie. Emotional breakdowns in the coat closet—all welcome here.
• Mantras to Keep You Sane: Including “This will be a great story later” and “Ordering pizza is always an option.”

What this book helps with:

• Holiday stress relief & overwhelm with simple reframes that lower pressure fast
• Hosting anxiety help with sane shortcuts for “good enough” gatherings
• People-pleasing detox by showing you how to stop people pleasing and set boundaries kindly
• Mindful holidays so you can be present, even when the gravy is lumpy
• Social media comparison spiral because reality > curated grids

Who it’s for
If you’ve ever cried over lumpy gravy, threatened to cancel Christmas, or felt behind after scrolling “perfect” feeds, this book is your cozy, no-judgment corner. It’s a giftable self-help pick for stressed women, recovering overthinkers, and anyone craving holiday life balance without the performance.

Because no one remembers perfect. They remember laughing so hard they snort wine out of their nose.

Say goodbye to perfect. Say hello to real. And maybe—just maybe—have your best holiday yet.
