I have a little trick for staying positive during the holidays that involves consuming sugar without calories. (No, it’s not diet soda.)
I record all of the television movies with the word “holiday” or “Christmas” in them. There’s Holiday . . . Affairs (original and remake), in Handcuffs, Inn, Switch, Wishes . . . and The Christmas . . . Card, Carol, Child, Chair (and that’s just the c’s), Gift, Proposal, Shoes, Story, Town, Visitor . . . you get the idea.
When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I watch one. These simple stories are never about what anybody got, but what they gave, or found – a lost love, a reconciled family - someone or something that sets things right.
As always, it’s the simple things that matter most.
Have a wonderful holiday.

My holiday favorites - White Christmas and Christmas Vacation.
Although the latter shows a disastrous family holiday, it leaves you with a chuckle and a heightened appreciation for the ones you love the most!
You have to love the family disaster holiday movies, though. I personally recommend Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.
