Just putting these out here for all of us to remember this Christmas:
- It's how you treat others for the rest of the year, not how you treat someone during December that counts;
- It's okay to limit gifts to the VIPs in your life. It's okay not to give gifts to acquaintances. Yes, you don't need to give the elevator girl, security guard or delivery boy a gift if it's beyond your budget.
- Truly important people know that it's the thought, not the value, that counts.
- There is no need to splurge on food. In fact you'll do yourself and your family a favor by limiting food this Christmas. It takes months to lose a few pounds.
- If you find things too overwhelming or stressful already, it's okay to take a leave, or to disconnect.
- You can always say "No" and you don't even have to explain yourself.
