For most, the holiday season begins at Thanksgiving and ends in the New Year. With the upcoming holidays just around the corner we begin to anticipate the joy, nostalgia, giving, shopping, traveling, social events and the eating of festive foods and treats. The holiday’s can also bring on unwanted guests such as family tension, loneliness, depression and stress. Adding activities to your regular schedule, cleaning, baking and irregular eating patterns may also become additional stressors. We all experience stress in our daily life but the holiday’s may add another layer that we simply do not have room for. A person may become frazzled and unable to enjoy the positive aspects of the holiday season.
