Stop complaining about Christmas and do something about it. If you don't like the stress, figure out why and change things. I think the problem is about expectations. We think people expect to get them lots of gifts and so we lose our minds shopping and shopping some more. Stop shopping so much and slow down. Tell em all that their gift can wait till next Christmas.

• Here are some tips for stressless Christmas ideas. I especially like taking cookies to grumpy neighbors, sure to downsize your stress load. 
• Over here they suggest that you schedule laughter. That's funny itself as you tramp around in the snow, sliding around on the streets on crowded avenues looking for a parking space near Pluto where you can plug your car in so you can keep it running and warm while you wait in line at that big box store with all those people buying all the things you wanted to get and when you get there they are sold out so you buy last years model and wait in line for an hour. That's a good laugh.
• Here's a blog called of all things, Christmasstressrelief.
• For the woman in your life who lives in Jamaica, check here. I like the one about giving her money to spend, that's cool cause around here I have to ask her for money to spend.
• If all else fails and you are traveling to the UK, try one of these workshops.

I'll be out and about this week enjoying a stressless Christmas time, maybe we'll run into each other and share baked goods or trade gift cards. I won't part with my Barnes and Noble Card though, plenty of stress relief for me at the bookstore.
