Because so many people are taking a few days off, not reading email, and otherwise occupied for the next few days because of Christmas, some of you are reading this on Thursday, some on Monday (when another newsletter has also arrived), and some much later. Therefore, I'm including some information that applies to what's going on right now (Christmas Eve!) and plenty that can be applied to stress at any time. I hope you have a wonderful week, and really enjoy the good things in your life, sans stress. (And if you're feeling a lot of stress, here are some tools to manage it!) Don't miss the Reader Response articles and the Social Stress Quiz--you'll find them if you scroll down! --Elizabeth
