Feeling the Holiday Spirit
We are in the middle of a busy season. Between Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and the New Year, the "most wonderful time of the year" can whiz by in a blur. It's not uncommon for this hurried holiday season to have a negative emotional impact on you or your clients. Don't let stress, depression or even cold weather get the better of you. Here are some ways to take advantage of the holidays.

The season shouldn't keep you from having a great time, so get creative with your indoor activities this year.
