Thank you so much! I tried everythign I could to avoid going anywhere for the Holidays... but both my fiance's family and mine know that they "aren't supposed to leave me alone on the holidays" It turned out ok... I regressed into a 3 year old and went to bed nice and early :)
> A good book helps! And the music is a great suggestion. Also, if you are a drinker, it helps too... Good luck getting through the holidays. Personally, I've declined inviations to my boyfriend's family and with my mother, stating that "We couldn't get my dog in the kennel," which isn't a complete lie. So, I'm looking forward to some much needed rest and relaxation with the pooch and some tunes!
