	Stress-Free Family Holiday Month
	December

Why is it that the holidays are both the most joyful and most STRESSFUL time of the year? We should be thinking about peace on earth, goodwill toward all people, and the start of a new year. Unfortunately, many of us are caught up in unreasonable expectations for our holiday gatherings. We think that if we just do everything right, this holiday will be "PERFECT". Well, wake up and smell the Yule log! There is no such thing as a perfect holiday -- not in real life -- and expecting one just sets you up for disappointment. So let's talk this month about what is REQUIRED for you to experience a pleasant, fulfilling, and stress-free holiday.
