Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year.It's time we spend with family members，giving gifts to each other and eating plenty of delicious food.However，at the same time it can also be a highly nervous time.
    It's easy to see why this might be the case：you have to spend lots of money buying presents for everyone，you need to prepare the house and provide a great meal，you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn't usually spend so much time with.
    But what's important is that we don't let Christmas stress get us down，and that we relieve （減輕） the stress so that we can enjoy the happy season.To stay calm （冷靜的） during this holiday，you'd better do your Christmas shopping in a wise way.For example，you can start your shopping early.In other words，you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money.What's more，you can buy your presents on the Internet，which means that you can find anything you can think of，and you can do it in your living room.It's much cheaper，so you can save money.
    To deal with Christmas stress，you should also learn to say no.There's a lot of peer （同輩） pressure that goes on at Christmas and this leads us to do a lot of things，whether it's drinking more than usual or eating cakes we don't want — all of which leave us feeling tired.Remember that it's your right to enjoy Christmas the way you want to and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you're not being Christmassy.
    Finally，you'd better have low expectations.If your expectations are high，you will make yourself upset.Don't let yourself be pressured into making the Christmas perfect.Therefore，just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.
