What Stresses you about the holidays?

I love the Holidays....my biggest stress is figuring out how I am going to slip $100 Xmas tips to all the waitresses at my favorite little Mexican restaurant. My solution: leave $50 tips instead.

Seriously, other than that it's all fun. Being lonely is something I do all year, so it's really no biggie.

 

I don't like the options to this test.

PROTEST!

 

Having Too Much To Do Is What Stresses You Out About the Holidays



You love the holidays. You love them so much that you end up taking on too many responsibilities.
Your heart is in the right place, but you don't have the time to get it all done.

Consider doing a little less. Don't bake that last batch of cookies or go for that Christmas Eve shopping run.
You'll still be giving the people you love what they want most... time with you!


Not quite accurate. I couldn't really relate to the options fully.

"E) None of the above!" - I think it's a good slogan too.

is this a common trait or what?

 

Before taking the test, I will just say being on sensory overload is what stresses me about the holidays. The fact that I am around so many people that I love and feeling how they feel is what just makes me a nervous wreck. It's so easy to sense everyone's underlying feelings that I have a hard time getting comfortable, and it is why I try to bring a sense of peace and calm to all situations. Otherwise, I might actually lose it.

Okay... *goes to take the test* Let's see....

Wait? It suggests avoiding the problem? Pretty sure that's not healthy...

 

Ditto. I don't find holidays stressful because I'm pretty indifferent toward them. I do my own thing while everyone else celebrates, and only participate when necessary, or when there's food involved.

 

I don't need a test to figure this out. What stresses me out about the holidays?

And while you eat well, you don't like buying new jeans after the holidays are over!
