Being a caretaker is challenging during any given week, but during the holidays it can be even more so. With all the holiday planning, relatives in town, and the general sentimental feelings the season can usher in, you may find yourself having a difficult time. Don't be afraid to ask another family member to help you out and give you a little time off. Make sure you use the time to do something for yourself, not just go shopping, clean or prepare things for other people. Get a facial, a massage, or just a simple cup of coffee in a quiet cafe. This week, right before New Year's is a great time to take a couple of hours for yourself to reflect on the year, and make plans for 2010.
