Thanksgiving is approaching and approaching fast. And with it begins the holiday season, where it seems as if there just isn't enough time to get everything done. Karen Vatthauer, Clinical Therapist and Owner of Beacon Professional Counseling gave some tips to make sure the Thanksgiving holiday will be a successful one for the hosts and their friends and family. Vatthauer said to make things less stressful when dealing with meal preparation, it's best to not let the host take on all of the meal duties, but to make it a fun event where everyone can bring their specialties.

Family feuds are also something to worry about when Thanksgiving comes around, and Vatthauer said the best way to handle it is to contact the people who are feuding, and ask them if they can put their differences aside for the holiday and be civil with the other person.
