Holidays, and resulting stress [View all]

There's a lot going on right now for everyone, and that includes the holidays.

Do you look forward to family visits, gifts, parties, etcetera, or are you avoiding or dreading most of it?

We continue to deal with a family situation. As a result, I'd prefer to spend the holidays with just my husband. He doesn't see things the same way.

How are things going for you?
