FOR SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS....

Ah, the holidays. What a wondrous time of the year! A season when families spend quality time sharing and caring.

Unless, of course, your family is anything like mine. In that case, you spend the holidays hiding from Aunt Alice who wants to tell you that your hairstyle makes you look chubby, avoiding Uncle Bobby who forces extra helpings of turkey at you even though you have been a vegetarian for the past five years, ignoring Cousin Brenda who shows off her grades/cars/fiancees, and calming your Mom who is tearing her hair out because of all the stress she is getting from her Mom.

If the above sounds at all familiar, we have the 5 best books to help you cope and decompress.
