{{{ Time’s up! }}}

Put down the credit card, stop running to the grocery store for just one more thing, and put away the wrapping paper and bows.  It’s Christmas Eve and, if you’re like me, whatever hasn’t been done by now just isn’t going to get done.

So, wouldn’t it be nice to just sit back and relax for the rest of the holiday?  For many people, there are still car trips to take, meals to cook, families to visit with and hyper children to calm.

Stress levels around the holidays are at their highest.

The one thing I’ve found that can make me calm down and snap out of a stress-induced coma is music.  So the next time you are crazy stressed and near your computer, consider taking a moment to check out one of my two favorite internet music sites.

The first is called Relax Radio, http://www.relaxradio.com …
From sitar music to solo piano to Tibetan tunes, this site has a great selection of relaxing music.  I especially love to listen to soothing Celtic harp while I scrap or check my email.

The other is Pandora Radio, http://pandora.com …
This amazing website asks you to enter your favorite artist or song title and then plays a unique mix of of similar music, based on elements including melody, rhythm, orchestration and harmony.  It’s amazing how many new artists I’ve discovered since I started listening to this website.

So sit down, take a deep breath, grab a cuppa something tasty, and let the music wash your stress away.
