It&#8217;s a full month of wondering what to get people. I can&#8217;t read people&#8217;s mind, so it becomes a huge guessing game. Shopping sucks because of the traffic, the crowded malls, and the long lines. I don&#8217;t want to give anything cheap, even though it&#8217;s supposed to be the thought that counts, so I have to put a lot of thought into each gift I buy.\u00a0 Then when I do buy a gift, I get pissed that the item will go on sale after the holiday is over. When people ask me what I want for Christmas, I always reply nothing because I know how stressful it is. At least the positive side is I get to spend a lot of time with friends and family.<\/span><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8643\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8643\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2011\/12\/20\/holiday-stress\/christmas-jeans-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Christmas-Jeans.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"437,769\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Christmas Time\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Christmas Time&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Christmas-Jeans-437x250.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8643\" title=\"Christmas Time\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Christmas-Jeans.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Time\" width=\"437\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Christmas-Jeans.jpg 437w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Christmas-Jeans-170x300.jpg 170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas Time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most stressful time of the year for me starts after Thanksgiving Day and ends after Christmas.
