Could This Holiday Season Actually Be Less Stressful Because of the Pandemic?

According to a new survey, people are slightly more likely to say the holiday season will actually be LESS stressful this year than in a normal year.

52% of people say the holidays are normally stressful.  This year, that’s down to 48%.  So it’s not a massive difference . . . but it’s a real one.

And it makes sense:  This year should see less traveling, fewer parties, fewer family gatherings, fewer arguments over whose family to spend time with, and emptier calendars.  Those are a lot of huge sources of stress . . . all gone.  (YouGov)
