Holiday Survival Tips:
. It's okay to excuse yourself from the table, go into the bathroom and say the Serenity Prayer.
. It's okay to remember, the only person you can change is you.
. It's okay to leave early.
. It's okay to say, "Sorry, I can't make it this year, I have other plans." No explanation needed.
. The best gift you can give your family is to take care of YOU.
