So, in the spirit of slowing down and breathing in every minute of magic, here are a few ideas to help you de-stress and make this holiday a tad more awesome.  

It’s the most wonderful time of the year but also the most hectic if you are a human resource or payroll manager scrambling to get everything in place for a smooth year-end.
