What is the best way to avoid holiday stress?
Set a schedule and display it where the entire family can see it. Include details like who else will be in attendance and whether travel will be involved. This should help eliminate the anxiety that can surround unexpected events. You may also want to schedule family time at home and pick a relaxing activity to do together, such as playing a board game, watching a favorite holiday video, or making cookies.
