Just back from Thanksgiving and already dreading Christmas at the homestead? Don't worry, you've got some time. But first peruse some handy holiday hell survival tips from Daily Candy. They include the obvious like don't check bags and bring your iPod fully loaded. But there are also some fun, not-so-obvious ones that will have you painted out to be the golden child in no time at all:

Tell everyone you'll be arriving an hour later than expected. That way, no one will call to ask "Are you here yet?" but all will be very impressed by the good time you made.

and have answers prepared ahead of time...

Rehearse your answers for the dreaded "You look tired," "Are you dating anyone?," and "How's the job hunt going?" ("I'm doing a detox thing," "Not since the stalker stopped calling," and "The Hooter's management position looks like a sure thing.")

Keeping a sense of humor is always a good idea.
