Holidays can be exciting, but reducing stress continues to remain a common concern for many people. Holiday decorations, nostalgia, memories, and commercialization can easily paint an unrealistic picture of what your family get-together and experience should look like. Caution! Holiday excitement and anticipation are healthy and renewing things, but if anxiety and pressure to perform and get everything "perfect" are taking the cheer out of your season, then here's a tip: Use perfection and vision as inspiration for what you may want to do, not as performance measures for how well you succeed in taking it all on.
