Even if you love the holidays, there's a part of you that hates all the STRESS that comes with them . . .

Two new surveys on holiday stress just came out.  They found 88% of us find the holidays stressful.  And for people who have to travel, it's 98%.

Here are three more stats about holiday stress . . .

1.  The average couple will get in SEVEN holiday-related FIGHTS this year.  The most common things we fight about are where to spend the holidays, and how much to spend on gifts.  13% of us have also argued about whether to get a real tree or a fake tree.

2.  Overall, the five most stressful things about this time of year are buying presents . . . managing your budget . . . cooking . . . prepping the house for guests . . . and cleaning up before and after you have people over.

3.  67% of people traveling for the holidays say staying with family is stressful.  And 48% of us think we'd get along with them a little better if we stayed somewhere else.
