Two days away from December 25, here are a few tips and observations that could come in quite handy:
* Remember, you’re in charge of what kind of holiday you’re going to have–not Madison Avenue, Currier and Ives, or any other manufactured notion of what your life should include.
* Let up a little. Not everything has to be perfect, and no one is keeping score.
* Get several good physical workouts right before the holidays so you’ll have a reserve built up to eat, drink, and be merry.
* Choose to feel good about what kind of year you’ve had and the potential that the new year holds.
* Make sure to step outside periodically, if only to take walk around the block, and leave your cell phone home.
* Sleep late.
