Presents, parties, almost obscene amounts of food – Christmas is great. Right? Right… But with great power comes great responsibility. And with festive joy comes the great sense that something hasn’t been done, or won’t get done in time, or the wrong thing’s been sent out, or you’ve got to be in ten places at once…

The run-up to Christmas and the New Year can be incredibly stressful – particularly for small business owners and entrepreneurs who, more often than not, are holding down much more than a full-time job. Your virtual assistant can take care of many of the daily administrative tasks that will still need completing over the festive season, so that you can enjoy a break with the family for more than a couple of days. Thankfully, there are a few ways in which a Virtual Personal Assistant can ease the pressure.

1. Wish your clients a ‘Merry Christmas, everyone’ by asking your Virtual Assistant to organise, source, and hand-write your Christmas cards

2. It’s the most wonderful time of the year… to prepare for the January sales! Your Virtual Assistant can help organise work in advance so you can hit the ground running

3. Santa Claus is coming to town – but where are the presents? Your Virtual Assistant can organise you corporate Christmas gifts (and gifts for your family, too, if you keep it hush-hush…)

4. Do they know it’s Christmas? Well, yes. Do your clients know that you know it’s Christmas? Yes, they probably know that too. But in case anyone needed reminding, or for some festive cheer, your Virtual Assistant can add Christmas content to your website

5. Whether you’re driving home for Christmas or off for a fairytale in New York, your Virtual Assistant can help you with your travel arrangements for a stress-free journey

6. Never mind mistletoe and wine – what about the nut roast? Ask your Virtual Assistant to order your Christmas groceries online

7. Don’t let being on holiday stop you wishing everyone a merry little Christmas. Your Virtual Assistant can write a Christmas newsletter and schedule it to be sent during the festive break

8. While you’re rocking around the Christmas tree, your Twitter followers may be wishing you’d stayed another day. Your Virtual Assistant can maintain your online presence by updating your social media pages

9. Don’t be lonely this Christmas – plan an office party! Your Virtual Assistant can book a venue, send out invitations, and take the pressure off

10. ‘Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day. But then I’d never get any admin done because I’d always be planning for Christmas, partying, and trying to spot all the hidden song titles in Task Firm’s hilarious blog posts.’ Never fear: while you’re busy preparing for Christmas your Virtual Assistant can take over your basic admin.

A VA can help you with a wide variety of seasonal tasks, helping you to enjoy the Christmas period. Give yourself an early Christmas gift and hire a VA to take the pressure off.

These are just some of the ways your Virtual Assistant can help you feel less frosty the snowman and more thank God it’s Christmas. With all your admin prepared, your work plans for the New Year sorted, and your presents bought, you’ll end up with only one thing left to wish for: let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
