Tips on Beating the Holiday Blues

I like using a heavy stick, say like an ax handle, to beat most things.

But that's just me.
 
Don't try to drink away your sadness; excessive drinking will increase your struggle. On the other hand, you might pass out and just sleep through the holidays. That one is a coin toss.
 
Make new friends or get in touch with someone you haven't heard from in a while. Drag out the old black book and cold call old girlfriends while breaking the don't be drinking rule. That should cheer everyone up.
 
Try to accept family members and friends as they are, even if they don’t live up to all of your expectations. What if they don't live up to any of your expectations? Compromising your values for the sake of harmony...drunk hand to hand combat is way more stress relieving and I can still kick the shit out of both sisters.

Disregard.
 
Memorize a mantra. A holiday mantra can help you focus on your intentions and avoid trigger points that lead you to overspend. A personalized mantra may be most effective, but here are some other suggestions: "It's the thought that counts," "Spending less means a happy New Year," "The holidays are about caring, not spending" or "No debt, lots of love.".......

Must be why the Hindi's have very little stress at Christmas time.
 
Earplugs/buttplugs. Whenever Blue Christmsa, Have Yourself a Merry..., I'll Be Home, Same Old Lang Syne come one the radio, stick in the plugs.
