Dr. Patterson said to avoid stress and sickness during the holidays, pay attention to your budget and stay active. "Altering expectations or tightening your budget can help alleviate additional financial stress. Maintain a normal exercise and sleep routine. Plenty of rest and exercise are great stress relievers. Finally, prioritizing is important during the holidays. Do not tire yourself out trying to attend every holiday party. Make a list of the most meaningful gatherings and graciously decline the rest," said Patterson.
An article from http://harrison.patch.com suggests that making to-do lists, spending time with friends, scheduling free time, eating well and planning ahead can also make the holiday a little more manageable. The article states, "Plan ahead by carrying fruit and cheese or protein, or a sandwich with protein, for when you're rushed or won't have time for a meal during a shopping spree. And if you come home empty-handed, forgive yourself and plan ahead (http://harrison.patch.com/articles/its-that-stressful-time-of-year-how-do-you-cope-3).
