If the chaos of holiday preparations is beginning to consume you, take some time out to decrease your stress. Here are three tips for reducing holiday blues.
- Pamper yourself. Visit a local spa and unwind with a massage or facial, or you could stop by your favorite nail salon for a mani and pedi.

- Go see a show. Purchase a ticket to a play or ballet.
