Many people look forward to celebrating the holidays with family and friends, but for some, those festivities can make them feel anxious.

Hosts may be nervous about making sure everything is just right. They also may be worried about if relatives are getting along or if a family member is saying something inappropriate.

There are ways to deal with these situations.

First, remind yourself that there is so much you can control.

If you are hosting, do not be afraid to ask for help.

If there is someone you are not looking forward to seeing, limit your interactions with them.
