6. Unreasonable expectations
seem to be a big cause of holiday malaise and stress. Everything has to be perfect. Perfect gifts, perfect decorations, perfect food, pefectly well mannered children, in-laws, siblings. :eyes: Then when it becomes obvious that perfect isn't happening the crash comes.

It's really unrealistic to have over the top expactations of how perfect everything will be. When people get up to go to the mall at 4am you know they have some pretty bizarre expectations about what the holidays should be like.

I think it's really sad that we as a society have come to this. Stress, greed, gluttony, envy and anger should not be part of our holiday experience.

Just my two cents.
