The holidays can be a stressful time full of both financial stress and strain as well as eustress or good stress in the excitement of seeing others and being with loved ones. Some people are not as fortunate as others in that the holidays are a rather sad time full of memories of lost loved ones or thoughts of what “could have been.” These few months are given a lot of attention and go by in an instant. We spend our time and our money on other people and things, which is important and can make us feel good, but at times we forget to take care of ourselves.
