Everyone has an idea of what “Holiday Stress” means. How come we experience this? How can the holidays be such an attractive and enchanting time, and such a stressful time, at the same time? In this episode, we talk about how and why that happens. And we have some good laughs while observing the ways we humans manage to stress ourselves out over (and even because of) what a wonderful time of the year the holidays can be.

Up for discussion in this episode…

• Watching scary stuff on T.V. (a leftover topic from Halloween)

• Who screamed when, when we made our way through an elaborate haunted house here in Portland (more Halloween recollections)

• Mariah Carey, Queen of Christmas

• Hallmark Channel Holiday Movie - cliches we love to laugh at

• LGBTQ representation needed in these movies!

• Disneyland as the ultimate in…

• …holiday-itis. What holiday-itis is.

• Human connection, being 100% present, as The Key to The Magic
