"Etiquette is not about
being 'stuffy.'
It's about putting yourself forward in the best possible way, using courtesy and respect for others as your guide, while still allowing your
own personality to shine!"

December, the month for parties, gifts, food, friends and family, all wrapped up in good cheer. It's also the season for making lists, spreading ourselves too thin, stressful emotions and figuring out how to squeeze a few extra hours in the day.
Here are a few tips to help you sort things out:
1. Party invitations: It's okay to attend more than one event in an evening, provided they are "drop by when you can" type of affairs. There are only so many dates and hosts realize their guests may have several invitations to choose from, so map your route, plan to stay for at least 30 minutes, and enjoy!

Remember...
Be kind to yourself. Show yourself the same courtesy you extend to others through-out the year. Whether it is a two minute conversation as you order your coffee, a long lunch with a friend, or a visit with family you see only once a year, it's an opportunity to connect with someone else, share a smile and perhaps a laugh.
Positive interactions with others help reduce stress, so above all else, do your best to relax and enjoy the season.
