English Idiom: Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle

It’s crucial not to get your tinsel in a tangle at this time of year.


What I mean is don’t let the stress get to you.


The holidays are fantastic and stressful all at the same time.

Christmas is never perfect.

Sometimes, the tree is a little crooked, the turkey is a little dry, or all the mulled wine is sold out (my problem this year).

Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle; remain calm, do your best, and let the rest happen.

Christmas will arrive as it always does, and it will be great!
