Holidays can be fun and filled with love and mirth. But they can also be filled with stress. The planning, the family get togethers, the spending, can combine to make you miserable. So how to cope.
The first thing to realize is that it's only a holiday, it's not the end or beginning of the world. We all want the holidays to go well, but we have to put things in perspective. A couple of tips.
1. Pace yourself. Break down your game plan into bite size nuggets, don't try to digest the whole plan in one gulp.
2. Trim the plan. Whether it's a shopping list or the invite list, keep it simple. You can have a great plan that produces a great holiday occasion, but don't over create the event.
3. Remember practice makes better, not perfect. Not everything has to be perfect. Planning for a perfect holiday is a guarantee to make it a disaster. Plan for a better holiday, leave the perfect to heaven.
