Step Three: You Can Say No Remember…this is your holiday too, so you don’t have to feel obligated to do it all. It is perfectly acceptable to decline a few invitations for your own mental sanity! Step Four: Take Time for Yourself Fighting off black Friday shoppers, decorating and wrapping can take its toll on you. It’s important to remember carve out a little time for yourself to recharge your batteries. Take a walk, watch your favorite holiday movie, or just spend some time alone to silence the holiday havoc.
