How Can We Slow Down the Holidays?


In this month’s column Starting the Conversation, I started discussing different ways my husband and I have adopted to try and de-stress the holidays, such as shopping all year for Christmas (especially on our vacation) and to switch our annual Christmas letter to a Happy New Year’s letter.

I also mentioned that we budget specifically to include the convenience of eating out. In particular, we enjoy both the Walnut Grill and the Wexford Ale House where we can relax, try some holiday features and even pick up some gift certificates.  WalnutGrill Wexford features two party rooms that can accommodate 15-50 people which really saves on the time, energy and expense of in-home entertaining.  These mini-holiday parties to enjoy their great happy hour specials that include $5 appetizer, $3 draft beers, $3 house wines, and $3 Pinnacle vodka drinks.  Be sure and ask for Vanessa Steele at the Wexford location to book your party or catering!

We also really enjoy sampling the variety of holiday and seasonal craft beers and ales at the Wexford Ale House located on route 19 on the Wexford Flats.

Just click on the highlighted names in this blog and you can go direct to the web sites for Walnut Grill or the Wexford Ale House.

What do you think? How do you and your family de-stress the holidays?
