'Tis the season to be jolly, but why are there people fighting over crock pots and mp3 players? 
When it comes to time, limit yourself to the festivities, both on the giving and receiving end. There's only so much eggnog you can drink.
If the expense of the holidays is nipping at your wallet, set a budget and stick to it. Remember, some of the best Christmas memories don't come from a store. 
For some, creating the perfect holiday can bring on frustrations and unrealistic expectations. Doctors suggest during this time of year, it's a good idea to just breathe.
So when Santa Claus visits this year, you'll be able to say ho, ho, ho, instead of a bah humbug.
