It can be easy to get swept up in festivities and lose track of things, so hopefully the tips laid out here can help you in monitoring your alcohol consumption, and having a Christmas with just the right amount of merriment.

Regardless of whether you consider yourself more of a social hermit than a butterfly, Christmas is all but certain to be one of the most sociable times of the year. From work parties to family dinners, the Yuletide season tends to be a time when people come together, broadening their social circle and spending time with people they would not normally see socially.

Christmas family dynamics have always been difficult to navigate, but the right frame of mind and a little planning-ahead can go a long way in making the most out of almost any situation. So whatever your situation may be, try to make the most of it, and have a Merry Christmas.
