How To Have A Great Christmas

1. Make a plan

Make it big, and make it fun!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME... embrace it!!

2. Be Prepared for Questions from Family Members

Let's just assume my grades are good, I AM ready to eat, and the person with me is my boyfriend, but he doesn't need to know about when I was a weird kid.

3. Planning on Meeting Your Signifigant Other's Family this Holiday?

Good luck and get ready.

4. Fake It Till You Make It

You may be stressed and depressed, but you gotta be well dressed. No matter the occassion... oh candle light service on Christmas Eve? YOU GO GIRL!

5. Giving Brings More Joy Than Receiving

Want to show someone you care? Give them something this year! It's not always the dollar amount, but it is always the thought that counts.

6. Relax

That frown does not go with your new hat, so perk up and relax.

7. Caffine Will Be Your Best Friend

If it is not already

8. Go Out and Attack the Holiday

9. Never Forget the Reason for the Season

10. Most Importantly, HAVE FUN!!
