The upcoming holidays are a time where people need to relax and enjoy themselves. This is a time for family and fun. So, why do so many people get so stressed-out on a holiday that comes around once a year?

Holidays can be a real strain on people that feel everything has to be perfect. What are people going to think? This often happens to people with low self-esteem problems. The holidays are a time to relax, get together with friends and family in a casual way. Don’t worry about appearances and enjoy the time with the people around you.

For a culture that is supposed to be celebrating the holiday season, it can be a nightmare for many people. A lot of people are faced with stress, depression, sleepless nights, poor nutrition, overeating and irritability. The holidays are a time to, what my son would say, “Chill Out.” Remember what the holidays were initially all about - religion and philosophy.

One way that our family enjoys the holidays by chilling is watching holiday movies. Now our favorite classic Christmas move is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. It may not be your favorite, but it will make you laugh and reduces stress. If you don’t own it maybe give it to yourself as an early Christmas present.
