Time For You (re: holidays)

[Guest guest]

TIME FOR YOU:

" You may have heard the phrase " be your own best friend, " and during the

holiday season, this is especially important. Jeanne in her " Dear Abby "

column says the five things most helpful to ward the holiday blues are:

" 1) Keep expectations reasonable. Don't take on more activities than you can

handle, financially or otherwise. "

" 2) *Don't overspend. Plan a holiday budget and live within it, regardless of

the temptation. "

" 3) Don't run up credit card debt or January will be like a serious

hangover. "

" 4) And speaking of hangovers: watch your alcohol intake. Although alcohol

seems like a mood elevator, it is actually a depressant. "

" 5) If you are feeling down and want an instant lift, do something nice for

someone else. "
