Sometimes it feels like the holiday season is an endless merry-go-round of social gatherings, from office parties to neighborhood socials to family get-togethers. In the flurry of activity, it’s easy to feel a little dazed. Some people tend to get a bit uptight, others play wallflower, while others get way too wild.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But it’s actually pretty easy to find some merry middle ground. Here are our top tips for having holiday fun — without regretting it the next day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Do: Let loose
<\/b>Don’t: Let it all <\/i>hang out
<\/b>With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make everything perfect. But when it comes to holiday parties, take a step back and remind yourself that Christmas is a season of joy — which means it’s okay to let go and have a little fun! Pour yourself a glass of egg nog. Eat an extra cookie. Dance the night away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Of course, no one wants to be the holiday partier who crosses the line from letting go to losing his mind. With all the stress leading up to the holidays, some people have a bit of a melt-down once the festivities finally arrive. Remember, you can have a good time without getting wild by following a few basic rules: think before you speak, mind your manners and above all, go easy on the booze.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Do: Toast the season
<\/b>Don’t: Get toasted
<\/b>Overindulging on alcohol is one of the fastest ways to kill your holiday spirit. The next day, you’ll be haunted by an aching head and churning stomach – and maybe worse. If you said or did anything to embarrass yourself or hurt someone else, you’ll be regretting a lot more than your hangover. And who wants to spend the holiday season feeling groggy — or guilty? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And while we’re on the topic of drinking, there’s one holiday rule you simply can not break: don’t drink and drive. Arrange a ride ahead of time so you won’t be tempted to tell yourself you’re “okay” to drive. Not only will a DUI ruin your Christmas, but an accident could ruin your life — and someone else’s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Do: Make new friends
<\/b>Don’t: Forget your old friends
<\/b>Maybe it’s the mistletoe, but something about the holidays brings out the romantic in everyone. Holiday parties are a great way to meet new people, and most folks people to let their guards down in the spirit of the season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But if you become preoccupied with meeting a man, you’ll end up missing one of the most special parts of the holidays: spending time with favorite people. It’s okay to keep an eye out for Mr. Right, but make sure you raise a glass to your girlfriends, too!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The holidays are a special time to get together, reminisce about the past and hope for the future. With a little planning and some common sense, you can make it a true season of celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
