Do you love the holidays? Most people do. But do you love the stress that often comes along with them? Probably not. There are ways of handling this kind of stress, so take a deep breath and follow these easy tips:



1. Skip traditional gifts in favor of money-saving alternatives. You can do this by giving a gift to a group, or giving small stocking stuffers, rather than one big gift.



2. Take no-sweat holiday pictures. If you’re thinking about doing a picture in front of a lit Christmas tree, disable your camera flash. Also, if you’re going to visit Santa, bring a picture of yourself or someone that your child knows with Santa so they can feel at ease and know that others meet with Santa, too.



3. Try not to regift. Stay away from those awkward situations and make your gift personal.



4. Start saving early. You can allocate a little money each week and make the holidays a little more friendly on your wallet.



5. Don’t forget your holiday spirit. The holidays are about spending time with friends, family, and loved ones, not just gifts.
