How To Survive The Holidays
So much to think about...Turkeys, Christmas trees, family, presents, money, spending money, food, eating food, and eating more food. That's a lot to think about. Quite frankly, I say screw it! Throw away that mentality (but keep the food part) and relax! It's your down time! Relax....
Cook A Meal Everyone Can Enjoy
Go ahead… say you contributed to Thanksgiving this year. Make a platter, your favorite dish, or just bring the booz.
Meditation
If you get a little overwhelmed, stressed, or just need alone time, try some meditation.
As you’re doing this, you can think of this old man in your mind. He looks calming and might be something to get your mind off, just how hard your life is this time of year.
Go See A Movie
It’s always a good idea to escape from the fam every now and then. There are some good movies out around the holidays, right? Call a friend and GET OUT!
Watch The Thanksgiving Parade
Watch the Macy’s Parade from the comfort of your own home! As you watch, point and laugh at all the stupid people who choose to stand out in the cold, amongst all those other stupid people.
Really though. it’s a magical parade. We watch it every year!
Eat Until You Barf!
It’s the holidays! You’re allowed to eat as much as you want and then feel sick after! YAY!! No worries, you can shed those pounds later. We aren’t think about that right now.
Check this guide out! Found some great suggestions in here!
Get To Know Your Family
You grew up around your brothers or sisters, but have you seen them in a while? I never get to see my brother or sister. What do they like to do now? Who are they? Gosh, I hope they haven’t grown taller than me!
Start a conversation. Maybe you don’t hate them as much as you thought…
Be Like Every Other American...
After a HUGE meal, just play it safe and become a part of the couch. That’s right, meld in with those cushins. That way, you don’t have to help with dishes, and you can watch that football game!
Make Food Art
Get creative with your food. Make the boring food into something interesting. Hey, I do this when the football games come on. It’s a bit more interesting if ya ask me.
Sometimes after you eat so much, you just can’t eat anymore. Instead of wasting the food, and saving yourself some calories, get creative! You can make food into anything you want! There is no right or wrong here.
Drink Yourself Into Oblivion
Red or White? Wine will pair with anything you choose to eat for the holidays. I have found that red pairs well with dark chocolate. mmmm
Drink and pass out. This can always be a great way to drown your family worries. Just leave the room for a while by passing out.
Go To A Happy Place
What makes you happy over the holidays? Go there…

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out.
I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
