"Happy" Holidays

As I prepare myself for the coming holiday season, I catch myself trying to find the "perfect" gift for my loved ones. Then I realize that there is no real "perfect" gift, and this realization helps bring things into focus. What is your goal for the holidays this year? To connect with loved ones? To have a relaxing holiday? To stay within your budget? To keep things simple? 

When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed during the holidays, focus on your goal. This can help keep things in perspective for you, especially when it feels like the holidays are becoming to be chaotic.
