How To Manage Holiday Stress

 The holiday season can bring so many wonderful experiences, but it is also a season known for stress.  (One poll from the APA found that 8 in 10 Americans anticipate stress during the holiday season, and a poll of more than 2000 of my readers found that over 80% found the holidays to be stressful--that's a lot of stress!)  This newsletter, and all of the newsletters you'll see from me this month, will bring ways to manage and minimize holiday season stress and start the new year off right.  Have a great week!
