Here's a quiz to find out how you handle it:

Please remember that test results are dependent upon numerous factors. Test results can be affected by your mood or state of mind at the time you take the test. Also, please keep in mind that we are often a combination of different types, and the results section of this test will give you only your most dominant type.
Personally I think I'm pretty level headed through the holidays- this year I'm looking forward to it so much. Last year my parents came out, and that caused some stress, they stay with me for the duration....and I'm used to my own space- they don't seem to understand the suggestion of a hotel (of which I'm glad to pay part of).
They plan on coming out at the end of Jan 07. Be forewarned ;-)
My results of the quiz:
"Full Steam Ahead (Damn the Torpedoes!)"
You love the holiday season and have been planning for it all year. When it comes to the holidays, you don't let anyone or anything get in the way of enjoying the season. You are the type who doesn't let holiday hassles get you down. You refuse to crack under the pressure of the holiday season. You stay calm, cool and collected, no matter what. If a problem arises, you are not afraid to ask someone for help. You don't overdramatize. You are very organized. You are a master of improvisation, if problems do arise. You aren't afraid of a little change of plans! You aren't impulsive. You probably started shopping for gifts in July! You carefully pick our your gifts and plan your holiday meal. You are confident in yourself and in your abilities to handle things, but know how to take time for yourself if things get overwhelming! You know how to have the best of all worlds when it comes to the holidays! However, just remember, if you work too hard to avoid your problems, you might miss out on some challenges and opportunities for new experiences. Otherwise, you have all of the capabilities of making this the most special holiday season yet!
Perfect, apart from starting to shop in July, lol!!!!




WEll I think it hit the nail on the head for me ...
