With the Holiday Season comes many personal, memorable experiences. Not too long ago was Thanksgiving (for those of us in the States) and for those who celebrate Christmas, or Hanukkah, or other holidays coming up soon, we don't have long to wait before we'll be celebrating again. Everyone celebrates differently, so here's my how-to list of how to make it through the holidays happy, full, and unscathed. 

1- Dress up. Holidays only happen every now and again. Put on your best dress, suit, do your hair up all fancy, and take some awesome photos!

2- Spend time with family and friends. No one's family looks exactly the same, but we all have people that need support and love. 

3- Try your best to not bring up the sensitive topics... In my family, all of us are pretty like-minded, but I have one Uncle who happens to like a certain politician. No one else in the family is a big supporter of that particular person, but we try to avoid the topic in order to preserve a little decorum. 

4- Eat whatever you want! Food during holidays is special. For my family, we eat a ton of different types of fish on Christmas, with a squid-sauce pasta meal for the main attraction. I only get to eat it once a year, so it's a really special treat.

5- Have fun. Laugh. Be merry. Do whatever it is that makes you smile. We gather for each holiday once a year, and there are only a limited number of days we can spend with family and friends doing what we love. 

How do you spend your holidays? Do you have a favorite meal? A favorite holiday? A favorite tradition?
