Eliminate Family "Situations" During The Holidays: Kathy Wakile Offers Tips To New Jersey's Real On How to Keep Peace At The Family Feast

Online, November 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Wakile family - Kathy, Rich, Victoria and Joseph - know all too well about the unique family dynamics that often surface during a gathering. Preparing and shopping for the holidays is stressful enough; throw in underlying tensions from past issues with loved ones and you have a recipe for disaster.

Kathy and her family have been invited to speak at Design Spree, a unique high-end warehouse-style furniture store (which they've dubbed a "storehouse"), to urge consumers to "Spree...Don't Stress!" during this holiday season. The entire Wakile family will be making appearances on Saturday, December 3 at the Maywood (11am - 1pm) and Lawrenceville (3pm - 5pm) locations. Kathy will offer tips on diffusing stressful situations and how to enjoy a relaxing, worry-free, holiday meal.

"Planning a menu and agenda in advance and creating a seating chart with place cards are just two simple ways to avoid a crisis during the holidays", states Kathy.

Jay Wagnon, Owner of Design Spree continued, "At our stores, we want to make ensure our customers are feeling stress-free, with no added pressure shopping. We are thrilled to have Kathy and her family kick-off our holiday season."

The first 200 Design Spree visitors to each location will receive:

•The opportunity to have a photo taken with the Wakile Family
•A chair massage provided by Fountain Day Spa while waiting in line (Maywood Location only)
•A $50 off $1000 coupon for Design Spree
•Goodies from Fairway Markets, Fountain Day Spa, and Forma Photography (Fairway and Fountain at Maywood only)
•Holiday and Design Tips Galore

Holiday treats for the events will be provided by the family-owned Di Bruno Bros. Company (Lawrenceville) and Fairway Paramus (Maywood).

Money and family issues are two of the biggest causes of anxiety during the holidays. Kathy Wakile and Design Spree seek to ease your concerns, allowing for a peaceful holiday season.
