You know\u2026THE SEASON\u2026to be cheery and celebratory all the time! Oh all the music to put us in the spirit of things, all the lights and parties. All the shopping and card mailing, all the card getting from everyone\u2019s expanding families. The fun never ends!<\/p>\n<p>Okay I don\u2019t want to be a Grinch, though green is my favorite color, but I think part of why people get down during the holidays (yours truly included) is all the societal expectations to be happy and perfect. To eat cookies till you&#8217;re blue in the face only to turn to complete deprivation a week later as the new year begins. Oh the pressure! How do we deal with it?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t completely escape it. I mean it\u2019s not even Thanksgiving and I\u2019m hearing Christmas music everywhere. Decorating can be fun, giving gifts or cards can be really rewarding but here\u2019s the thing, don\u2019t pressure yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The holidays are about Spirit more than anything. Be good to others and be good to yourself! Put yourself on your nice list&#8230;well heck, naughty too, we all need to have some fun. Do what you can and don\u2019t stress if it\u2019s not a magical Technicolor holiday. After all, <em>It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/em> was in black and white.<\/p>\n<p>We can all try these tips to stay calm, I will. Surround yourself with friends, invite them over for a pot luck. Remember friends are the family you choose. Rent some movies and chill out, after all a day off is a day off! And have some egg nog! Treat yourself to something that relaxes you. Like a hot bath after braving the stores or your family. So take a time out and remember you\u2019ll have fun, it\u2019ll all be fine, and if not, it\u2019s a new year soon after! Happy Holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relax and
