With this time of year comes stress for many of us. Along those lines:


1. What causes the most stress for you this time of year?


2. Do you deal with this 'stress' positively or do you find it difficult to handle?


3. How do you reduce your stress?


3. Do you look forward to this time of year?

1. What causes the most stress for you this time of year? My in-laws


2. Do you deal with this 'stress' positively or do you find it difficult to handle? I do a lot of complaining about it before hand which I should stop and then have a couple of drinks while they, the in-laws, are visiting.


3. How do you reduce your stress? Again a little alcohol helps. ;o) I also try to get to a place where it's not a big deal for me even though they always throw a curve ball to try to throw me.


3. Do you look forward to this time of year? Nope

1. What causes the most stress for you this time of year? The parties, getting the "dish to pass" made and getting ready with a short amount of time, especially when these things are on a Thursday or Friday night. Doesn't leave much time after work.


2. Do you deal with this 'stress' positively or do you find it difficult to handle? I usually am OK with it. I just have to remind myself I will get things done on tme. I always have.


3. How do you reduce your stress? I exercise, and

1. What causes the most stress for you this time of year?
This year it's my parents coming to visit, and stay with me!! Mostly it's more or less like the rest of you- fitting everything into the time we have, watching money, eating, etc..., etc....!


2. Do you deal with this 'stress' positively or do you find it difficult to handle?
I'm actually an internalizer, and it's really only when things get out of control that I follow suit. So in essence I think I deal with stress rather well....but it has it's moments with me!


3. How do you reduce your stress?
Getting out and exercising- whether it's the beach for a swim or a walk in the park. I have to do this ALONE however!! Also, like Gretchen, I find a little alcohol can help ;-)


4. Do you look forward to this time of year?
I love this time of year. I'm a night owl, so love the parties, celebrations......oh, and the presents, both giving and receiving them!!!
