Wine, Women & Words: Books on your holiday survival guide

We have officially entered the Holiday Trifecta! Halloween is behind us; Thanksgiving and Christmas (or your December holiday of choice) are looming on the horizon, with a brand-new year hanging in the not-too-distant distance. Family gatherings are a given for most of us during the holiday season, which are anticipated by some and dreaded by others.
