DON'T DO THIS

If you feel a little sad around the holidays - that is normal.  Lots of people feel sad around the holidays so they just drink alot forgetting that alcohol is a depressant so they feel worse so they drink more because of the "hair of the dog" trick (which really works - I found that out one Mother's day when I was under the impression that Mother's day meant get drunker than a MOTHER the night before the Sunday brunch and then try to not throw up at the country club.  Anyway - 3 Bloody Mary's later and this MOTHER felt GREAT again) 

I digress - back to feeling sad in the holidays... many of us have lost loved ones and the memories of these people crop up and we miss them more during the holidays.

So, if you are feeling a little sad DON'T take a bottle of red wine down to your basement and start going through old boxes of pictures and photo albumns because all you will do is spend the DAY down there crying like a baby and get even more behind on all the things you have to do.
