Waiting Until the Last Minute

You know you have this problem when youre asking the clerk at a convenience store if hell gift wrap your purchases on the night of Christmas Eve. Pace yourself during the weeks preceding the holidays so that you dont have to do any more shopping than you feel like doing on one shopping trip. The selection of merchandise in the stores is better and the crowds are thinner earlier in the month. The closer Christmas gets, the more impatient and tense the people in the crowds get. That feeling is contagious, and it can be avoided if you do some advance planning. Shopping early is a good way to reduce stress during the holidays.
