While we all wish we could be as joyful as this Tommy Hilfiger ad, the truth is that the holidays can be kind of a bummer.

To keep your stress levels from skyrocketing, we asked Lauren Zander, a life coach and founder of The Handel Group, to provide de-stressing solutions for common holiday dilemmas. Follow her practical advice for a (hopefully) more zen holiday season.

When you and your parents know what to expect, it will be less stressful and probably a lot more fun."
