The holidays are a time of celebration and family—a time to set work aside and focus on the most important things in life. There are many joys to behold: reconnecting with loved ones, devoting time to your spiritual beliefs, and taking in the simple pleasures of carols, treats, lights, and gatherings.
For many, however, idealistic expectations, the wish to please others, financial demands, and other pressures, both internal and external, can cause stress this time of year.
