What do you DREAD about Christmas? and how to cope..

1. What do you dread about the upcoming holidays?
2. How do you cope/deal with it?

I'll go first;

I dread excessive eating and my mother's potential bad mood inflicted on me.

I cope in many ways; drink a bit too much, play with the kids (ie. hide in the other room).

I'm really dreading the Christmas Eve gift exchange with my extended family. I'm really not up for going, but I'm being pressured to do so. If I don't my sister and mother won't even TALK to me all Christmas eve and most of Christmas day.

Also I'm going to miss having a gym to go to several times a week. Doing what I can at home will be tricky, and I must be careful not to succumb to laziness.

Dont dread Christmas....Keep control....You lost 17 lbs already, dont gain it back. Help yourself by drinking water with lemon in it. This will fill you up and help curve your appetite. Eat small portions and if possible use a small plate so you dont over indulge. You dont want to stay away from friends and family, show them your control as well...Keep your chin up, you can do it...
