Why do people stress themselves out over the holidays?

think although people feel "should" more relaxed in holidays pressure put on achieve can counterproductive , mean end feeling more stressed. bit when know "should" asleep find lying awake worrying night passing , feeling bad next morning!

in experience people not trying stressed beliefs situations or circumstances can make stress creep on them. stress can different things different people. holidays genuinely forward to, many people pressure of christmas , spending time family may or may not on with, cost of christmas , expectations of trying perfect family can them.

of course there things can try prevent , after in own situation , trying best have think.

it sounds oxymoron when people talk "holiday stress". it's ridiculous. holidays should time relax , enjoy. there plenty of other days in year stressed , there people wasting holidays stressing out more.
