00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,090
- Hi, I'm Busy Philipps and here

2
00:00:02,090 --> 00:00:04,380
are just three tips that I have for you

3
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:07,310
for surviving a busy holiday season.

4
00:00:07,310 --> 00:00:10,820
Number one if you're traveling
with children you need

5
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:14,470
to be prepared for the
worst case scenario.

6
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:17,980
If you're taking a road trip, I need you

7
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:21,600
to have more snacks than
you could ever eat, ever.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,350
If you're on an airplane, every kid needs

9
00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:28,080
a full change of clothes, including shoes,

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,700
yes it's happened.

11
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,150
Go into it assuming that the airplane

12
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:35,480
will not have anything at all.

13
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,880
I bring a thermos of macaroni and cheese,

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,070
a giant thermos of macaroni and cheese

15
00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:43,160
because I'm if nothing else,
I know she'll eat that.

16
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,510
Then everything's a pleasant surprise.

17
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:47,840
When you land at your destination

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,340
and it wasn't a total
disaster, you're huh,

19
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:51,173
that was really great.

20
00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:53,660
Tip number two, you
have so many obligations

21
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:54,840
over the holiday season.

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,550
Parties and things and
all of places you have

23
00:00:58,550 --> 00:01:00,010
to go, you have to visit family members,

24
00:01:00,010 --> 00:01:01,820
you have to go here, you have to do this.

25
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:03,510
One thing that I would encourage you

26
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:06,000
to do is try to be a little spontaneous

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,110
in some travel for yourself.

28
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:09,460
Because I think people get really nervous

29
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:11,600
about spontaneous travel,
but it can be great

30
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,930
especially over the holiday.

31
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:14,190
Then it's just something for you.

32
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:18,090
It's not like you have to go
to the place where you grew up

33
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,290
and sleep in your childhood bedroom.

34
00:01:20,290 --> 00:01:22,500
Tip number three, don't forget

35
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,380
that you're aloud to spend as little

36
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:27,560
or as much time with
your family as you want.

37
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,770
You're an adult, you can
try your childhood bedroom

38
00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:32,490
and if it's too much of a disaster

39
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:35,080
just get the app and go on hotel tonight

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,090
and find a hotel down the road.

41
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:39,200
That's the biggest tip, I
wish someone had told me

42
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,150
that when I was 21.

43
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:43,650
