Description
We’re in Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa Countdown! To keep you company while you slowly lose your mind, we’re re-running some of our favorite holiday episodes. This week we're revisiting "The Most Everything Time of the Year" and how the intensity really ratches up as soon as Thanksgiving is behind us.
Are you juggling “dress as your favorite reindeer” day at preschool with frantic texts from your sister-in-law asking what your spouse wants for Christmas? Are you feeling like hiding under the covers instead of hitting the office holiday party?
It’s the most everything time of the year, and women report the holidays as being far more stressful than men do.
In this episode we discuss how to manage the holiday stress, how to accept the non-cozy feelings that may arise, and why it’s okay to dial back if you’re really not feeling the holiday spirit.
Here are links to some of the writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode:

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research: Holiday Stress
Harvard Medical School: A holiday advisory for your emotions
Cedars-Sinai Hospital: Depression and Anxiety Around the Holidays
