10 Ways To Lower Your Holiday Stress If you have ever wondered how Santa keeps up such a cheery attitude during the last month of the year you are not alone. Any CEO will tell you that it is hard enough to even stay sane with that kind of pressure deadline much less keep a merry "Ho, Ho, Ho" on your lips this time of year. Here's some information that just might keep you singing instead of sighing this year.1. Plan, organize and delegate: The best defense against stress is a good offense. Be relentlessly strict about your "to do" list, shopping list and even make a calendar so you (and everyone else in the family) can visualize your goals and objectives.

Here are 10 ideas sure to get the party off to a higher spirit.1. Basket case. Hollow out a pumpkin to use as a fun filled candy basket and to finish it off, make a basket handle out of cut vines. Any backyard vine with stiff stems will work great. Clean out the pumpkin and let it sit for approximately 24 hours to make sure it is dry before filling it with treats. Bend the vines into a handle and secure them to the pumpkin with wire poked into each side.2. Truckin. Let your creativity flow, find a vintage dump truck at your favorite antique store, second-hand store, maybe a flea market or a garage sell. Fill it full of bright, colorfully wrapped halloween candies, use halloween stickers to decorate the vintage dump truck doors, such as a cute little pumpkin. This makes for a great accent piece.3. Conversation piece tray.
