Bill McKibben of Grist asks a tough question; are you brave enough to say no to a high-stress holiday? According to McKibben, if you poll Americans around this time of year, most will say that they approach the holidays with dread, not anticipation. McKibben puts forth some challenging thoughts: Replacing regular stuff with green stuff doesn't help. Does anyone really need more stuff? Can we tone down the consumerism? If we have kids, is it fair to cut out the gifts or are we depriving them of a real holiday? For me, if I come up with a plan about what I am going to do and buy, and stick to the plan, I find myself much less stressed. Of course, starting in advance also helps, something I have not done! What about you? Are you looking forward to the holidays, or dreading them? www.greendaily.com/2007/11/09/tip-of-the-day-create-a-plan-for-the-holidays/ http://www.greendaily.com/

Planning your holidays is the most important thing to have a no-stress holiday and enjoy it to the fullest. This would also make you feel refreshed once you come back from your holidays. Hence planning is the best thing that needs to be done before going for a planning. If we schedule everything well in advance, then the holidays can be enjoyed the best.
