The holidays can be a joyous time. It can also be the worst time of year if your relationships are not quit on the right foot.
So how do we deal with the stress of the holiday romantic blues? Be open with your partner. Don't expect anyone to read your mind. Most of all be honest with your self and your expectations. Often times, what ever issues we have had in our relationships during the holiday season was already there. We can get more frustrated and agitated if we try to put on "phony" faces. Reality is relationship problems do not take a holiday during the Holiday Season, They get worse...
Remove the added stress by evaluating the direction of the relationship before you must put on fake smiles and die inside. A little communication can go a long way when the balance is leaning toward "scroogeville". Express yourself openly, and allow your partner to do the same. Once you get it all out you can see past the issues to a viable solution to bring in the new year on a fresh note. Love... true love, never dies! Sometimes it gets a little buried. But, once issues are aired out there is still time for Santa OK ( Jesus) to allow a miracle... Merry Christmas!
Personal tips are always welcome- anyone have any good ones?

I agree that problems in any type of relationship are already there before the Holidays come along. You can tell your partner, friend, co-worker even family member how you feel but if they are not listening than they do not here what you are saying. It is never the person expressing how they feel intent to hurt anyone. It is just sometime the truth hurts. It takes a strong willed individual to except the truth and change.
I so agree... It takes much courage to be honest with yourself -first. Getting up the nerve to express what you have discovered can be a challenging as well. But as you evaluate your true intent for being open you realize you can say what needs to be said in love and be free to move on to a higher point of growth. Growth is a bit sticky, butthe payoff on the other side feels so much lighter...
