Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. __1__ Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. __2__ Let off sadness
The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. __3__ We don't like contradictory behavior. Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger(e.g. overcooking the holiday turkey), you pause rather than reacting at once. __4__ Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
__5__
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don't forget to give yourself a break. A. Relax your mind B. Enjoy a mix of emotions
C. We tend to deny the important function emotions serve. D. Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life. E. So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects. F. A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. G. We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside.

In our lives we may have people who need help one way or another.They could be our friends，our colleagues and even our parents.And，of course，if these people do matter in our lives，we want to try our best to help them. __11__
Consider finding someone they look up to.Usually，a proud person thinks highly of themselves，and not too highly of anyone else. 12 Find this person and get him to go up to the proud person and talk about their unwillingness to accept help from others.
Give them advice.By now you may have gotten your proud friend to come to talk to you.Now is the time for giving your proud friend some advice.But how do you give advice to someone who thinks too highly of himself？You can use words like “Don't you think…”“You told me before…” __13__
Improve your approach and strategies as you proceed.Sometimes the proud person may feel angry that you've helped them.__14__ You might just need to accept their roller coaster(过山车) of emotions about accepting your help and simply not take it personally，ever.
__15__ Two proud people make for a very uncomfortable relationship.Don't be too proud to let this person give a hand to you.Indeed，the moment he does，you owe him and can swiftly remind him of the debt being repaid when you offer him help back!
A．Let the proud person help you.
