Hello, Pondbc! Without specific reference to holidays but regarding life in general, I am stress-intolerant and experience volitional paralysis in the face of expectations and imposed deadlines.
I progress at my own pace or not at all.
No need to feel sorry about holiday negativity.
You're in good company.
