In reality, they can also be one of the most emotionally taxing times of the year, especially when your calendar is filled with back-to-back family gatherings, social obligations, and expectations. While spending time with loved ones can be meaningful, too much togetherness, too little rest, and unresolved family dynamics can quickly take a toll on your mental health.
