We look forward to the winter holidays when we gather with friends and family to reflect on the year and share the joy of the season. This is also a time that can be very stressful! All of the planning, negotiations, family disagreements, and loss of loved ones can make this season of joy quickly turn to a season of anxiety and stress. This year is bringing a new challenge to the holiday season, COVID-19.
