Holiday Stress Factoid
by Lisa McIntire

Holiday StressAccording to an Omnibus Survey on stress and the holidays conducted in October 2007 – almost half the women polled reported experiencing increased stress during the holidays while only 30% of men reported the same. In addition, almost double the number of men (19%) reported that they find the holidays to be LESS STRESSFUL than other times of the year compared to only 10% of women.

How about you? On a scale of 1 to 10, with 5 being your normal level of stress, where would you rate your own stress level during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season?
