How to have a stress-free holiday season – CNET

A stress-free holiday season

The holiday season is filled with plenty of great things — sugar cookies, twinkly lights, ice skating and gifts. But there’s also a lot to not love — busy shopping malls, the pressure to host a perfect holiday party and family tension. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of it all, leaving you tired and cranky by Dec. 26.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though! If you take care of your needs, manage your stress and put your mental health first, you’ll feel well-rested and happy all the way through the new year.
