5 Ways to “Fix” Ruined Holidays

    • Oven breaks? Use the microwave–and make some fish-sticks for the kids while the adults have some Gallo wine and cheese on crackers. Seriously, nothing says “relax” like a few appetizers instead of a turkey. And that ham is already cooked, so just warm it up and put it with the crackers too.
    • Forgot Aunt Susie on your shopping list? Oh, well, I ALWAYS have 2 or 3 extra pairs of gloves for ladies and men in my shopping list so that I have something for Aunt Suz. Just go ahead and wrap it so that when she shows-up unexpectedly, you have a little gift for her.
    • Guests arrive early? See Gallo and appetizer trick from earlier. Seriously, it works every time!

    • Kids refuse to go? Grab some Gallo for yourself and give them a few minutes to calm down. And then bribe, bribe, bribe. If that doesn’t work, you can always beg-off. Family can come to you or you can catch up to them later. No need for stress, it’s the holidays!
    • Your mother-in-law makes snide comments? For real, though, try to remember that she means well (even if she doesn’t) and pour a glass of Gallo Family Vineyard Wines for both of you to enjoy together!
