Now is that time of year again when I have a stress. I hate Christmas I would wish to go away somewhere where I could just kick back and enjoy. But I have family I can't do it. They are waiting for a traditional Christmas with food and family. Blood pressure starts to rise in november. Visit worldchristmas.net/christmas-world/finland.html my family don't understand that I'm not a Christmas person. How to get through without the stress time of Christmas?

Christmas should be a very enjoying and happy moment of one's life. But somehow, I understand that not all people don't feel the say way i feel every Christmas time of the year. For me, Christmas is really a great day because it's the time where I can be with my entire family and relatives. It's the time to receive wonderful presents from family and friends. It's the time to eat delicious and special foods. Well, I admit that it can also be stressful to celebrate Christmas since we have to spend some amount of money and nowadays, we are all facing recession but I just don't want to pressure myself too much. I always set my mind that I should always be happy especially during Christmas season.
