When the holidays roll around, we often place great demands on ourselves and others around us. Set realistic expectations. When you feel like things are getting out of hand and the world is out of control, stop and ask yourself, "What do I expect? What do I really want to happen? Is my expectation reasonable?" Realize that we would all like to change people and situations; however, you should understand that we cannot. Take the time to accept others as they come. Also, recognize that acceptance doesn`t mean approval.
