So far, the pandemic has made pretty much every aspect of life MORE stressful.
But Christmas could be different.
According to a new survey, people are slightly more likely to say the holiday season will be LESS stressful this year than in a normal year.
52% of people say the holidays are normally stressful. But only 48% think this season will be. So it's not a massive difference . . . but it's a real one.
And it makes sense: This year, no running from one celebration to another (like in "Four Christmases") or having the entire family show up at your house (like "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation").
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.
