How to have a Stress free Holiday Season
The holiday season may be the most wonderful time of the year ─ but it can also be the most stressful. Many of us spend every spare minute shopping, decorating, cooking, baking, wrapping, socializing and worrying whether or not everything will get done! We’re also worrying about starting the New Year in the red as the cost of gifts, entertaining, travel, and food can decimate our budgets.

The reality is often cranky children, argumentative siblings, critical parents, difficult in-laws, and demanding bosses!
