So are you feeling like Ms. Scrooge yet? Are you dreading and or resenting the work office party, the family dinner, the Christmas eve celebration, the neighborhood get together, the cookie exchange, the mall, the stack of cards in your mail, the grocery store and every Christmas movie, TV special, commercial and song ever? You are not alone.Everyone knows the ways to combat these humbug feelings but let me review:
1. Get plenty of sleep
2. Exercise daily
3. Eat and drink in moderation
4. Let others do some of the Christmas chores for you
5. Be realistic
Easier said than done, Right?
I suggest:
1. Remember there is no recipe for the perfect Christmas Holiday
2. Lower your expectations
3. Say “Not this Year”
4. Keep in mind those that want and expect the most from you do the least
5. Who said Ms. Scrooge was so bad?
OK. You can also try the top 5 ways too!
Stay cool and Merry Christmas

I love the second list. We all need to give ourselves a break over the holidays. I would add one more. We often see certain family and friends at the holidays. Many women beat themselves thinking "I haven't lost that 5 pounds yet." or "I didn't get that promotion I expected" The ones who really love you don't care.
I recently spoke with a couple of friends who said the same thing you did about not going to Holiday parties because of one thing or another that they feel like they are coming up short on their own or their family's, or children's expectations. I agree with you, those who are friends could care less!
