BONUS How Christmas Ruins Relationships (And How to Survive It)
from The Wisdom of Sex with Dr. Wisdom · host Dr. Heather Wisdom, PsyD LMHC
Alright, picture this. It’s Christmas Eve. The stockings are hung, the lights are twinkling, and everything looks magical. But behind that Instagram-perfect glow, Emily is in the kitchen fighting for her life over a batch of cookies that just won’t bake right. Meanwhile, Matt’s in the living room, tangled in Christmas lights, mumbling something that is definitely not suitable for carolers. Tension’s rising. Resentment is brewing. And by the time Christmas dinner rolls around, it’s less 'Silent Night' and more 'Verbal Boxing Match.' Sound familiar? If you’ve ever felt that holiday stress start creeping in, you’re not alone. But I’m here to tell you—you don’t have to become Emily and Matt this Christmas. Today, I’m giving you 5 survival strategies to keep your relationship intact during the holidays. We’re talking about how to avoid Christmas arguments, share the workload, and—most importantly—how to keep your sanity. So grab a peppermint mocha, take a deep breath, and stick around. Because this year? You’re gonna have a Merry Christmas—not a Stressmas.
