17th of December, huge wonderful Thursday, a day you start humming, whistling, singing Christmas carols while you're driving, while you're watching floor numbers in the elevator, while you're walking down the street -- don't do it when you're running or pumping iron or doing squats, you'll collapse by the third verse.
Eliminate the stress. This is how: When the alarm goes off, simply lie there for a few minutes (in the dark, alas) and plan out your day, -- one thing at a time, in the proper order -- it's like walking, one foot in front of the other, one step at a time. And when you begin that first thing on your list -- have a light bulb go off in your head that yells ENJOY -- you're alive, you're going to see family, eat wonderful food and drink champagne. And you have a full week to enjoy the prep, get presents together, and stand in front of your Christmas tree and feel blessed and grateful. Can't get much better than that -- again, simply one thing at a time and ENJOY doing each thing.
