Use a 'productive pause' with your family and individually to plan travel, gifts, schedules, and workouts to reduce holiday stress.

STF Holiday Survival Guide.
The holidays are my favorite time of year. They’re also some of the most stressful weeks of the year. Some of it is the nature of the season– there are parties to attend, people to shop for, money to spend (that you may not have), family drama to brace for, and a general sense of more to do. Combine that with increased junk food and alcohol intake and it’s a recipe for disaster. Or at least an unpleasant season when the whole point is love, giving, and gratitude.
