If your Holiday expectations are out of line with what you can really accomplish, you'll be stressed.

We all like to think we have only “good”, “nice”, “elegant”, “friendly” traits. While trying to present a nice “face” to ourselves and our partners, we repress and deny other traits of us, which we think carry “negative” connotations; which are not “socially accepted”; which might bring us shame, contempt, and rejection; which might make it difficult for us to find a partner and develop an intimate relationship.
