Christmas morning is one of the most exciting times for a child. Their little feet can’t get them to the tree fast enough to see what treasures have been left for them. This is also an exciting time for parents. We get to watch the pure joy on their face as they rip through the wrapping paper and see something they’ve been wanting. Holidays can also be stressful on parents. We have to plan, shop, wrap, cook, and a thousand other things in a very short time. This year keep holidays stress free and power up with Duracell batteries. Are you wondering how can Duracell batteries take away stress?
The Toys
Christmas morning prince opens up the game system and video game he’s been asking for for months. He reminds you he wants it every day when the commercial comes on not to mention whenever you’re out at the store. He finally opens it and literally jumps up and screams, he tears open the box and asks you or daddy to set it up. While he’s sitting there bouncing in his seat waiting, you realize the remotes need batteries. You panic and start rummaging through draws and then the moment comes……..you Forgot the batteries. Now what????? You can’t let this boy down, you start looking for any electronic that might take the AA batteries you could steal. You find the TV remotes and use those but it’s only four and you need eight or prince will be playing the game by himself. This my friends, has happened to me. It’s not fun and kills that happy high you’re on watching your child enjoy his gift.
The Decorations
You’re setting up your Christmas or other holiday decorations, plug in the lights and have the big OOOO and AHHHHH. You go to all your decorations that light up separately and oops you forgot to get batteries. The snowmen are dark, Singing Santa is silent, Candles didn’t light up the windows, and the reindeer aren’t dancing. You now have to wait to get to the store to get the batteries before the true festivities begin.
The Parties
You have your family and friends over for the holiday and gifts are exchanged with the children. They are all hyped p to play with all their new toys and the adults are looking forward to getting time to sit around and chat while the kids play. Your guests forgot the batteries. Parents have to explain to the kids that nobody can play with their new toy or watch what it does and they will need to wait until tomorrow when batteries can be purchased. I’m sure that will go over well with a bunch of kids ranging in the ages of 2-15.
The Safety
You’re house is lit up like National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Inside you have your tree lit, lights lining your archways and your banisters. Your house is a winter wonderland with lights everywhere. Although we make sure to shut lights, use correct power strips, and to follow all safety precautions, we always want to be sure we have that extra safety in place. That’s our smoke detectors. We’ve all heard stories how there was a house fire and the family was safe and we say thank health is more important than anything else.
How to Keep Holidays Stress Free and Power Up
BATTERIES BATTERIES BATTERIES
Did I mention batteries? Keep those batteries on hand. I have a drawer that’s for batteries. There’s plenty for people who may forget when they give a gift, to keep my holiday decorations powered up, and I always change all my batteries in our smoke detectors.
Giving a gift??? Read the box and check to see how many batteries and what size and BUY THEM then and there. When we visit for holiday parties, I always have extra batteries in my purse and I’ve been known to save the day when one of the kids opens their present with no batteries given and I whip them out of my purse. Yay Me!
Why Duracell?
I also always buy Duracell because they’re are dependable. Sounds corny but what about when you buy other batteries and one of them doesn’t work. I never have to worry about Duracell losing it’s power or opening a new pack and having one that doesn’t work.

It truly is one of the most frustrating holiday moments when you don’t have batteries. It happened to me as a child ALL the time. My parents never seemed to learn that lesson. When I had my own kids, I stocked up on them big time so it wouldn’t happen again!
Love the decor. Always good to have plenty of batteries.
Thanks for the reminder. I need to stock up before Christmas morning!
It’s amazing how many gifts end up needing batteries during the holidays! Great idea to keep some in stock!
We use Duracell for just about everything that needs batteries. Such a quality brand that we love.
Having six kids, we always have to stock up on batteries during the holidays. We also use Duracell.
Great holiday decor! Durell has always been my go-to brand for batteries!
My son is at the age where he knows when batteries need to be changed. It’s maddening when we don’t have them on hand!
I always tape batteries to gifts that need them. I’m glad you mentioned smoke detectors. My MIL doesn’t have any and I want to pick one up for her for a gift.
I make sure to stock up on batteries before the holidays. It would be horrible to be caught without some when they are needed.
Duracell is the only brand we use. We always stock up on them at Sam’s Club before Christmas.
We always have to keep Duracell stocked because it seems everything needs batteries these days. There’s nothing worse than running out or not having any on hand when you need them the most!
the one thing I forget every year is batteries. Thanks for the reminder
We have a nice stock of Duracells for Christmas morning! I am sure there will be a toy that needs a fresh installation of AA’s and I’m ready for it!
I always make sure i get a good supply of batteries during the Holidays. There is nothing worse then getting a great toy for a gift and you can not try it.
I always include batteries with any gift I give that requires them. It’s just a horrible thing not to!
I have never understood why people gift battery operated presents without batteries. It just seems like a cruel prank.
I just stocked up on a few packages of batteries. I put one pack in my car so that they are there in case we get to one of our parents house and they forgot they needed batteries for something. Happens to one of us every year. We often miss that some toys or gadgets don’t come with batteries.
thanks for the reminder, I need batteries to lots of things around the house
We just stocked up on Duracell batteries at Costco this past weekend. I’m never quite sure what will need batteries on Christmas morning and I like to be prepared!
Having good batteries around is a sure fire way to keep sane during the holidays. I totally agree with you!
Love the photos! You can NEVER have enough batteries around the house especially at the holidays! Thanks for the reminder to pick up some extras!
Last week I made the mistake of putting cheapskate batteries into my christmas decorations and now they are already dead!
I love Duracell batteries! We make sure to keep them in our fire alarm and check them often. They last so long!
You never notice how many things require batteries until you don’t have batteries! We need to keep a huge pack of Duracell on standby in this house!
oh yes stocking up on batteries during the holidays is a must! There are so many things that we need them for, the different parties, toys, decorations. Great reminder!
The glass bowl decoration is so cute. Davey would love making a bowl. Perfect for him to give as gifts.
I love all your decorations. We switch out our batteries at Fall Back which is right before the holidays.
