Studies show that more than 37% of Americans experience increased stress levels during the holidays. Finances (and shopping) are indicated as the number one cause of stress, with spending time with family, over-indulging, and overworking following closely behind. Suffering from loneliness and recalling sad memories during the holidays also play a considerable role in seasonal depression and anxiety, therefore leading to increased stress and decreased health.
