The Holiday Season

Oh, that twelfth month, it takes the year out with a bang. A recent poll by the American Psychological Association shows that during the Christmas season, gift-giving becomes one of the top five holiday stress issues. Normally work is the biggie but when the holidays roll around priorities change. Gift-giving moves into second place, before “not enough time” and just after “not enough money.”

Many of us get through the year on a good supply of Post-It notes but at this time of the year the only way to survive is to make lists. Even a notebook might be necessary. Being organized is definitely important.
