Why Women Suffer More Holiday Stress

It doesn't take much imagination to understand why women suffer more from 'holiday stress.' 

 Despite the progress women have made in the paid workforce, they still carry the bulk of domestic duties, including the tasks of merry-making.

 Of course there is no quick fix to change the well-entrenched gender norms and expectations. Nor will a few brandy eggnogs permanently alleviate anxiety. 

However, given stress is ultimately created by the way we process and interact with our environment, a few simple shifts in mindset can help to keep stress from hihjacking your holiday spirit.
