My Stress Free Christmas Therapy

We are now in the second week of December and I'm guessing that you are already screaming; where are the days rushing to?" I understand that feeling. Infact, I recall when I used to wonder if December was indeed 31days because it always ended before you were even ready for the month to begin. 

Once schools close for the holiday, everything starts spiraling out of control and down hill. Items become annoyingly pricey especially at a time when your pocket is tight and you need to buy new decorations for the house, gifts for everyone and fuel the car for your trip. Even airplane tickets skyrocket, leaving you wondering who we offended in this country. 

Then comes the family wahala. Some extended family members whom you would rather avoid gets thrusted on you for a short period that would seem to last for an eternity, followed by the annoying cliché questions like; "when are you tying the knot or don't you want to have another baby?" Then you remember the kids would need new personal items (who cares about your personal needs), add all that to the burden of cooking several meals (which must taste and look spectacular) and if care is not taken, your Christmas might begin and end inside the kitchen. Oh let's not forget the looming school fees and house rent for the new year. Now who would not cave in under such intense stress?

I don't know what induces your stress this season, but just know that you are not alone. Almost everyone gets overworked and overwhelmed. We know Christmas is supposed to be a joyful season, a time to be merry but the more strain we take on, the more difficult it gets for us to enjoy ourselves.
