De-stress, don't distress, over the holiday season

The holiday season can be a stressful time as people rush to buy gifts, bake, prepare meals, make travel plans, and ready themselves for guests. Finances can also add to stress levels if people are trying to buy gifts or make holiday arrangements on a tight budget. Also, added to the mix is the stress of sometimes dealing with relatives who may have too much to drink or are argumentative at family gatherings.
