Are you anxious about the upcoming holidays? Here are several ways to make this holiday season your best (and least stressful) ever, courtesy of Woman’s Day magazine:

¢ On your December calendar, color-code all your errands, appointments and parties. Put social events in one color, errands in another. That way you can tell what’s coming up at a glance.

¢ As photos and cards start coming in, put the keepers in an album rather than letting them pile. Create a new holiday album every year.

¢ Instead of pulling out a dozen different cookbooks, take the time to find all the family favorites, make copies and put them into one folder you can use every year.

¢ Take an hour to type the names and addresses of everyone to whom you send cards or gifts into your computer. This eliminates all the paper, and you can print out mailing labels.

¢ Look through your house for anything red, green, silver, gold or white. How can you use these items in a different way?

¢ Got a big gift and not enough paper? Just wrap it in a large holiday tablecloth.

¢ Color-code packages. Knowing that all red packages are for the in-laws and all the gold ones are for your folks, for example, is a quick way to pick up the right stack.
