*** Article: Surviving Family Drama during the Holidays - By Mary Kay Cocharo ***
------------------------------------------------------------ It's inevitable that expectations run high during the holidays. We all have a tendency to compare the ideal families we see portrayed in advertising to our own and for many of us, these comparisons sadly fall short.
Your control over your family of origin is limited of course, as it is for us all, but you can control how you respond to the challenges that arise.

*** Article: Minimizing Holiday Stress - By Stephanie A. Armstrong ***
------------------------------------------------------------ While the holidays are supposed to be a joyous time spent with our most loved family and friends, it also comes with extra stress. We find ourselves in the midst of shopping for that perfect gift, planning parties, attending parties, cooking, baking, attending company functions, working extra hours to fill in for those taking holiday vacations, worrying about finances, especially during this tough economic time and keeping up with the regular day to day responsibilities. We quickly find ourselves on complete overload.
I want to enjoy the holidays. I want to relish in the beautiful holiday decorations, the wonderful Christmas music and cherish the moments and memories I am making with my family. However, if I don't manage myself, my time and my priorities, the holidays will be here and gone and I will be left tired and wondering what happened.

*** Book Review: The Book of (Holiday) Awesome: When the Christmas Lights All Work, Successfully Regifting a Present, Drinking with Grandma - By Neil Pasricha ***
------------------------------------------------------------ There's nothing like the holidays. They bring out the best, and sometimes the worst, in everyone. Luckily, Neil Pasricha is here to remind us that not only are the holidays great but there's actually even more to celebrate than we realize. From Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa to such holidays as Mother's Day and Father's Day, Thanksgiving, and beyond, The Book of (Holiday) Awesome will show you why holidays are ... AWESOME! - Plugging in the Christmas lights from last year and having them all work.
- When the in-laws leave.
- Successfully regifting a present to someone who actually wants it.
- Drinking with Grandma.
- Just barely wrapping a gift with that tiny scrap of leftover wrapping paper.
- Knowing Kwanzaa is worth more Scrabble points than Hanukkah or Christmas.
