The holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving is out of the way. You are all stressed out because you have so much to do. If you are like me, this is the worst time to get sick. It is also the time that I am most likely to get sick. Everyone is stressed out, trying to fit too much into too little time. A time when we all want to be at our best, to be able to enjoy the parties, and festivites. Whether is is family,church, work, friends, are all of those things,they can be exhausting. If you are the party givers, then it also takes work, money and planning.

All you have to do to see how much is put into this season is to attempt to go to shopping centers, such as our local Meijers to see how many people are frantically preparing for the holidays. The commercials blare with all the things that your kids want. Advertisements in the papers and on the radio shout about all the bargains that you can get. Now the prices of happiness are even greater. You have to have the newest Playstation or Ninendo. Your kids inform you of that or a husband or wife that are gamers too.

Yes the price of happiness has gone up. So what do you do? Pull out the credit card that you promise yourself you will pay off in a couple of months, but know that you won't? This just adds more stress to your life, and the chance to break down your already exhausted immune system.

Very good points, and very good article! I have been sick over the holidays in the past, and it's miserable. I've been very lucky so far this winter. When I've felt a cold coming on I hit the vitamin C real hard.
