10 Ways to Avoid Holiday Stress

Wednesday December 14, 2005
The other day I went to Walmart. I knew it would be a madhouse there, what with the holiday season upon us, but I wasn't prepared for what I witnessed...people fighting over parking spaces, 'accidentally' hitting others with their carts, fighting over toys...it was ugly, y'all.

The holidays can bring out our best and our worst, sometimes at the same time. If you tend to get stressed out (and you take it out on innocent shoppers at Walmart), take control with these exercise and health strategies. You'll be able to deal with shopping, family visits and those sleepless nights you'll spend putting together complicated toys for the kiddos. Before you completely lose it, find out how to squeak through the holidays unscathed.
