Redecorating your place. It's the most terrible time of the year. McDonald's are actually onto something here. Christmas is statistically the most stressful time of the year. It's actually 40% more stressful in studies time where we drink the most alcohol, we probably sleep the least, we party the hardest, we eat loads of like sweets and desserts and and then we also have all of our family coming around. And for some people, that's blissful and fun. For others, it's like something they dread. Is hiding out in McDonald's the solution to that? I really debate that. I know what my solution is, obviously so my breath, but what's yours? I'd love to know. What do you do to deal with the stress of Christmas time? Let me know in the comments.
