ot everyone shares in the celebration and joy associated with the holidays. Many people feel stressed and unhappy in response to the demands of shopping for gifts, spending large amounts of money, attending parties and family gatherings, and entertaining house guests.

It is not uncommon to react to these stresses with excessive drinking and eating, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating and physical complaints, such as headaches. The holiday blues are a common result.

If you experience reactions like these during the holidays, you are not alone. Remember, while they may be intense and unsettling, holiday blues are usually shortlived, lasting for a few days to a few weeks prior to or just after the holiday.
