Dear Huffington Post readers,

Hello again!

My name is Neil Pasricha and I'm a no-name 32-year old guy who lives up in Toronto,Canada. After a rough patch in life I wrote a book called The Book of Awesome and then The Book of (Even More) Awesome, which were based on my website.

The good folks at Huffington Post let me share some awesome things with you a couple timesover the past two years and they asked me to come back and share a few more about theholidays.

And well, I don't know about you, but I think holidays are stressful.

Long shopping lists, tricky travel, and visiting in-laws all snowball into busy weeks ofblood boiling bliss. After all, when that tree's wedged up high, when the presents are allwrapped, when the party dress is squeezed on... well, sometimes you just want eggnogand a nap.

And that's why we're putting out The Book of (Holiday) Awesome.

It's meant to be a little escape between gravy boats and Christmas lights, between holidaybaking and board game nights. Because sometimes between Christmas card stresses anddinnertime messes, it's easy to forget we're celebrating some pretty big things.

Like love, big hugs and solid family time right when we need it most.

Have an awesome holiday,

Neil
