According to the Holiday Stress survey conducted for the American Psychological Association, women take on most of the responsibilities for holiday celebrations. 44% of women–as opposed to 31% of men–report increased stress from holidays due to lack of time, money, and gift giving. Many women have trouble relaxing because of holiday-related tasks and may resort to unhealthy habits to comfort themselves.
