I have several Christmas parties to attend this year, the first is tomorrow with my wife, at an after hours hotel and club. Then one the next night with my wife and children. Does it seem like we try to crowd to many activities into this season? How do you handle the stress?

I just take a deep breath and go on! We had our Christmas Party on Tuesday, I have one on tomorrow, one of Saturday(9), one next Wednesday (13), two on Friday(15) and one on the 21st. I think its wonderful because this is the season for joy, giving, etc........... So I love the parties, now as far as the food goes, I dread it and so does my waistline.LOL

I love to do things this time of year. I hardly ever get to do things and I love to get out and do. But, if it is too stressful, limit the number of activities you attend. Only go to family events. If you feel bad, just tell the host that you are going to spend the evening with family. Hopefully they will understand especially this time of year.

To be honest, I have to same problem. I pick the one party where I know I will have a good time (yes, it's about me, Christmas parties are nice but they can be ridiculous too) and I go to one. If I'm feeling festive, I may go to two. You can't please everyone all of the time, so why not please some people some of the time. Laff - Good Luck with the Christmas Parties! I wish me luck too!

Just take it easy: don't get drunk (a good rule is the more junior your status is, the less drunk you should be), and leave when you've had enough. And have fun, and resist all pressure to wear a stupid santa hat.
Oh, and make an effort to talk to people who are standing by themselves - introduce them to your wife and kids.
