Managing Holiday Stress

The holidays!  They can be a time of joy – celebrating traditions, connecting with loved ones, and creating fond memories.  Sadly, they can also be a source of tremendous stress and negative emotions.  The holidays can magnify all the stressors we typically face through the year: attending multiple get-togethers, hosting dinner events, extra shopping expenses, a sprawling “to-do” list… and interacting with people we might have a tense relationship with.  On top of that, the wintertime can be particularly challenging for those facing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
