		Giving holiday stress the boot There are loads of great things about the holidays. Good food, good people, gifts and snowball fights are just a few of them. However, any gathering of relatives is sure to cause some stress. Maybe you don't get much time off work. Maybe your mother is a little overbearing or you've got a kid that's too-cool to engage with anything but their cell phone. Whatever is, there are plenty of ways to take care of yourself and your own enjoyment: Remember to take time for yourself. Go to the movies solo. Sleep in and cuddle with the dog. We promise: it'll make family time more enjoyable. Get active. Sure, it's break and all you want to do is laze around and eat. But get up and get moving. Go ice skating, skiing, or just take a walk. It'll give your family another way to engage. Plus, with all those holiday treats you've been eating, it's probably a good idea to stand up once in a while. Sleep more. Staying rested keeps both your mind and body healthy. That's just science. Plus, there's nothing worse than the holiday sniffles. Exercise your right to say no. You don't have to participate in every activity or meal for the entire holiday season. Take it easy with the alcohol and caffeine. Sure, be merry. But don't be so merry that you go crazy or burn out. Celebrating the holidays alone this year? If your family is far away, forget tradition and make your own fun. Stay in a hotel and rock their water slide or rent a bunch of movies that you've been wanting to watch. Forward to a friend! Know the etiquette of re-gifting Got a Christmas gift that you don't want or can't use? Re-gift it to someone else next year. The rules: don't mention it's re-gifted, don't open or use the product in the meantime, don't give it to anyone who knows the original giver, and make sure it's a good fit for them, even though it wasn't for you.
