Holiday movies and TV specials can teach us how to live better and enjoy more
happiness year-round. These are some of the most important life lessons from a few
old favorites and some other works that may be less well known.

The season which runs between Thanksgiving and Christmas goes by all sorts of names, depending on who you talk to, and you probably even have your own name for it as well! If you haven’t yet been able to truly embrace the “reason for the season,” as some call it, you might want to give it some serious thought. But just how do you do that? How do you give back without literally taking what you’ve received and handing it over to someone else?

There are many ways to make Christmas merry and memorable. When it comes to the holiday season, more people are concerned with buying the perfect gift for others and anticipating what they will receive, rather than focusing on the true spirit of the holiday. This year, you can make your Christmas a joyous and stress-free holiday by following these 3 easy tips.

The holidays and fattening food go hand-in-hand. Thanksgiving and the leftovers can last a week. Then it’s only a few more weeks until Christmas. New Year’s is the following week. Studies show that 75% of a person’s annual weight gain happens between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Make this the year that you avoid holiday weight gain.

Most people associate the holidays with food, fun, and gaining weight. However, you can choose to enjoy the holidays and still eat responsibly.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to host Thanksgiving but were concerned about the cost of feeding the largest meal of the year to a small army. The holidays and excess seem to go hand in hand. The economy still isn’t great, but fortunately, a great Thanksgiving meal can be created with a limited budget.

Unless you live on a mountaintop by yourself, you’re going to have disagreements with others. You’ll never find another person that agrees with you 100% of the time. Whether you’re at work, home, or out in public, there will be times that you disagree with someone.

Growing your ability to deal effectively with these disagreements is a pretty good use of your time. You can solve a lot of challenges and avoid any issues if you have effective communication skills.
