Surviving the Holidays
by Jacqueline Wales

We are all gearing up for the Holiday Season, and since many of us love it and maybe just as many hate it, I’d like to offer you my five top tips for getting through the chaos without losing your mind.

1. You are not the GIFTS you give. YOU ARE THE GIFT. Remember to treat it with respect.
2. You don’t have to accept every party invitation that comes your way. People will love you anyway.
3. Gift giving is not a competitive sport. If you receive something, you don’t have to give one back, especially if it means going into debt to do so.
4. When the hurly-burly sets in……Remember to Breathe
5. If you so desire….. be a BAH HUMBUG! The party will continue anyway.
