The holiday season is often portrayed as a time of joy, merriment, and cherished moments with loved ones. However, underneath the glittering decorations and festive gatherings, lies a hidden truth that many Americans face: holiday stress. According to recent statistics, a staggering 90% of Americans feel varying degrees of stress during the holidays, with 25% experiencing extreme levels of stress. This raises the question - how can we navigate through the holiday season with tranquility and joy, while keeping stress at bay?
