Hey peeps. So Gillette has reached out to us ’cause they thought you might like two sticks of Gillette Odor Shield Anti-perspirant/Deodorant, two Gillette Odor Shield Body Wash, and a $100 American Express Gift Card. Think that’s something you’d be interested in?
We all know the Holidays can be a stressful time…what with all the shopping, wrapping, driving about and such. At least it’s almost over, right? It’s such a bitter sweet time. Christmas is so much fun and such a change of pace but it’s also nice to have it over with and return back to some sense of normality. I will say though, December 26th might just be the saddest day of the year. Your presents are all open, no meals to look forward to and no more excuses to down a whole liter of Egg Nog in one sitting.
I know there are only a few days left but here are some quick tips to help with the Holiday stress:
- Don’t wait until the last minute to buy your gifts
- Prep food the night before to eliminate cooking pressure the day of your family gathering
- Pack light if you’re traveling, saving you back pain and luggage fees
- Organize a Secret Santa or Yankee Swap for a big family or large group of friends to help everyone save some money
So you want to know how to win this bundle from Gillette? Simply leave a comment on what is the single most stressful part of the Holiday season for you. The winner will be chosen at random and be notified via email so be sure to fill that part out. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Traveling.
Every year, I forget to write down my wife's sizes. Every year, I dread asking her, cause she always asks what i think. I have no concept of what womens sizes mean. They're not like men's 32" means your waist has a 32" circumfrence. What the hell does a size 8 mean?
Anyway, If I guess over, there's hell to pay cause she thinks she's fat. If I guess under, I get accused of not caring enough to know (which I get accused of anyway for simply asking).
too much stress. Therefore, for the last 3 years, I have purchased jewellery. but this year she wants a "cute outfit". here comes the stress again…what does 'cute' mean?
Traffic everywhere you go.
family dynamics or lack thereof….
My mother-in-law. I'm sure everyone else will agree.
Packed stores…
lines are longer because so many more people are out shopping
Cranky and rude people during the holidays! tracietrump@yahoo.com
Stressful? Let's see. Oh, I know: Worrying about whether or not my son on the autism spectrum will make it through the holiday gathering without smashing the tree, talking about bodily functions (loudly) throughout dinner, or flipping out because the color of the car Santa left him isn't just EXACTLY the right shade of blue.
Otherwise, it's all good ….
The most stressful part for me is where to have the holiday party and who is hosting it. My family usually doesn;t decide until a couple of weeks before and then it;s a mad dash to the grocery store for 30 people!
I get a little stressed when I am preparing dinner for guests.

Paying it all off.
Having to work retail and listen to Christmas music for 8hrs non-stop! That and dealing with people that are angry a product is out of stock when it's 2 days before Christmas.
Working and not being able to go home to see my family and friends for the holidays :(
The number one most stressful time of the holiday season for me is mall shopping. I will do most anything to avoid the malls, even paying more if I have to.
The most stressful part of the Holidays is definitely trying to make time to see all of the family and friends!
The most stressful part is entertaining.
The most stressful is trying to figure out what to give others. If they don't need anything, what do you get them?
And also the stress of if somebody got you a fairly expensive gift and you spent only $5 on theirs. Not sure if that's stress or embarrassment.
Meeting the girlfriends family for the first time
I hate the shopping!
