Friday Feature: Holiday Stressbusters

In the musical, She Loves Me, there's a song called "Twelve Days to Christmas" that counts down the shopping days until Christmas. As the song progresses, it becomes faster and more frenzied, concluding that "some of the family may not get a Christmas gift at all." Performing it in high school, I found it fun and funny. As an adult, I find it all too real.

Feeling a bit frenzied yourself ? If so, this article from Happify about holiday stress busters might be worth a read. Many of the ideas are common sense and familiar, but still, it's nice to get a reminder of the ways we should take care of ourselves.

Here's hoping you, like the first set of shoppers in the song, are one of the people "with time to spare, who shop at their convenience."
