The holidays are infamously a time of both joy and stress. Unfortunately for some it's more of the stress than the joy. If you're finding yourself a little frazzled or negative this season then The 12 Yays of Christmas might help cheer you up, relax you, or at least possibly renew your appreciation for some of the "small things" that you might as well enjoy -- since you're gonna have to deal with them regardless. Written with the popular Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" in mind (now I've got that tune stuck in my mind!) the article mentions everything from the joys of Christmas lights in the neighborhood to taking a few extra days off work. It even tackles the usual stressors of family visits and winter weather and reminds us to appreciate the positive -- such as the tradition that comes with visits from loved ones, and that a snowstorm equals sledding and snow angels.

I so can't wait to make a snow angel...
