With all of the stresses inherent in this holiday season, it is important to remember to create a positive memory to carry with you the rest of your life. Some years ago I wrote an article regarding holiday stress and depression. Gayle reminded me of the most important concepts to keep in mind. She said, “the preparation for the holiday IS the holiday.” Regardless of the past, you can create new positive memories for a pleasant, fun and memorable holiday season. So try this mantra; relax and have fun.
