    Curb holiday stress

    Stress about the holidays- many of us get it- in one way, or another. Here's how to curb some of that- it's some holiday intel, sure to relieve some of that "can't get it all done" feeling!:

    If holiday cards stress you out- thinking about all the personal notes you think you need to include- go for a photo card this year. There's not a lot of room to write, so all you need to do is sign.

    Decorating should be fun, too, so don't let it get you upset. Experts suggest that you stick with the big 3: a wreath on the door, a Christmas tree, and either a garland on the mantle or a display on the coffee table (for the garland, just trim a few boughs from the base of the tree to make it, and for the coffee table display, stick a few leftover tree ornaments in a glass bowl and call it a day!)

    Last tip? Drop a little something in the Salvation Army kettle- research shows helping others lowers your blood pressure, improves your sleep and increases your holiday spirit!

    My grandma always wrapped the grandkids' presents in the comics. It was cheap, colorful, and fun to read them, too!
