Holiday Stress-Busters: reduce the to-do list, focus on family and closest friends, be flexible as to last minute changes, avoid double-bookings on your party calendar, invite some "Santa's helpers" to assist you, laugh every time you hear ho-ho-ho or Merry Christmas (great for the immune system), move your body ~ get some exercise, avoid multi-tasking ~ take it slow(er), set boundaries (work & home, family & acquaintances, etc.), reduce sugar intake, enjoy the gifts you receive and don't worry about the ones you didn't, be grateful for all you have received this holiday season.
