Here are a few tips that might save your life during the holiday season – especially if you’re the hostess.

First, layer your clothing with a very thin layer – and one that you’ll be proud to be seen in – closest to your body. As a hostess you are sure to perspire profusely so start to shed layers at the first sign of a heat wave!

Second, if things get really hot, and stripping down to your thinnest layer is not enough – run over to your fridge and stick your hands in the freezer for a minute. That’s a sure fire lifesaver!

And now for the most important piece of advice…

When one of your guests annoys the ever living snot out of you, reach for a small holiday chocolate rather than a butcher knife. Trust me, two extra days of post holiday dieting is well worth keeping you off death row for murdering a friend or family member!

Enjoy the holidays! Stay cool and stay sane!
