					<description><![CDATA[Hi Nicole: 

I always find your advice so practical and down to earth. I really responded to your advice about making some space for unhappy feelings during the holidays and that being OK. It&#039;s also so helpful that you give parents permission to excuse themselves from certain holiday activities without giving an excuse. Thanks for another great post!
