The Christmas season is a time when doctors' offices are deluged with chocolates, brownies, fudge and lots of other goodies which staff and professionals enjoy, though with some guilt.
But there is another side to the holiday season which is more troubling then extra calories and saturated fat. It is the distress of many women we would see with serious holiday depressions because they were exhausting themselves physically, spiritually and financially, trying to make the holidays "perfect" for their families and other loved ones. To the women who read this blog - I wish you well and hope that you will do what you can reasonably do and recognize that perfection is not a human characteristic. To the men who read this blog and pay attention to what their spouses are going through, I suggest you make it a point to notice what is going on around you, support your loved ones and help set family holidays goals which will leave everyone refreshed, rather than exhausted physically, spiritually and financially.
Truly happy holidays depend on the strength and joy of family relationships. What ever holiday is yours, I wish you and yours holiday happiness.
