A few tips to survive the holidays:

• Make sure you wipe the jar of the molasses before you screw the lid back on.  This will relieve much stress and strain
• Let the kids play video games.  More cookies for you!
• It's okay to order pizza instead of home cooking that meal.  Makes good leftovers for lunches.
• Don't forget to take pictures of your decor so next year, you can remember where you hid carefully placed that lovely gift from your co-worker.
• Let the kids make a mess with the sprinkles.  It can be swept up later.
• In our house, Santa doesn't wrap presents.  Santa is so smart!!
• Take time to count your blessings.  
• I would think of more tips, but my leftover pizza is warm and yummy-smelling. 

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend full of warmth, love, family, friends, joy and peace!!
