Tis The Season To be Jolly. So, Kick Out Your Inner Scrooge!

The holidays are supposed to fun and joyous.  Children should be frolicking, adults caroling, the aroma of fresh baked cakes and pies in the air, and laughter in the halls—at least that’s what I see on greeting cards and Hallmark specials.   In real life, the holiday season is the most stressful time of year for many people.

According to a Harris Interactive poll of 2,173 adults, 90% experience some level of anxiety around the holidays and the biggest concerns are gift giving and familial relationships.  With 10% unemployment, the pressures of the season will likely increase for many.

So how do we get to a happier, less stressful holiday?  Let’s deal with three key areas directly: your mindset, money/gifts and relationships:

• First, make a conscious decision to enjoy yourself.  Write a list of what you love and dislike about the holidays then make a personal resolution to eliminate as many of the negatives as possible and to indulge more in the things you love to do.
