(Apparently, we \u201cbetter not!\u201d) But we also know that one bad trip to a seasonal shopping mall is enough to make even Tiny Tim go postal. So what\u2019s an elf to do when the stress boils over like a hot chocolate gone wrong? Use these simple relaxation tricks, of course!  At Elfster, we\u2019ve been through enough holiday shopping seasons to know that deep, cleansing breaths simply won\u2019t cut it when someone cuts in line. And there\u2019s no mantra in the world that\u2019ll make parking a delight. So you can chant a soothing \u201cho ho ho\u201d if it\u2019s any fun for you, but for the best stress management at the mall, here\u2019s what we suggest: Wheezey Does It Losing your breath in the retail race can have your chest feeling tighter than Santa\u2019s tummy in a man girdle. But when you start to hyperventilate, don\u2019t panic! Bloomingdale\u2019s Big Brown Bagdoubles as a pretty nice respiratory aid. A few puffs in and out, and you\u2019ll be back on your pointed little feet again in no time!"}
