Martina Getting It Done, Having Holiday Fun

12/13/2007 Stephen L. Betts Martina McBride shares her secrets to dealing with holiday stress in the current issue of First magazine. The singer is featured on the magazine’s cover and in an article titled “Get It All Done — While Having Fun.” Martina says one thing that helps her is something she calls “prayer wrapping.” "Wrapping gifts is always something I enjoy doing around the holidays,” she says. “I find it comforting. And if I'm worried about something, I say prayers and seek guidance.” But one tradition Martina doesn’t keep is sending out holiday cards. “I just never have felt like it. I keep in touch with family and friends throughout the year, so I've always felt it was unnecessary stress.” For more of Martina's tips on beating holiday stress (and some scientific evidence to back up her tips), check out the new issue of First magazine.
