STRESS EFFECTS DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON

Christmas seems to be one of the most stressful times of the year.  We’re all trying to cram so much in.  Work, family, gift shopping, various social Christmas celebrations, and this is all before the main event – Christmas Day.

Alot of us get tense just thinking about Christmas.  Christmas stress is one of those phenomenums that hits with precise precision every year.  Guaranteed.  You know it’s coming, it builds up long before Christmas arrives.  It’s called the festive season, but really, how festive can you get when you get stuck in a traffic jam with the kids fighting in the back seat, your partners nagging in your ear and you are feeling emotionally pressed like the ham in the hamper, energetically flat like the half drunk bottle of champagne floating around the boot from Christmas Eve’s dinner party with friends and you haven’t even made it half way to your folks place for Christmas Lunch.

No need to worry about the tyres on the car this trip, you’re the one having a blow out!
