Street Talk: Do the holidays stress you out?

David French

"I expected to be stressed as I am helping to organize a Christmas tree lot but I'm really enjoying it. I'm usually a bah, humbug kind of guy but this year I'm really into it."

Joy Sgobba

"A big yes for me. It all comes down to buying people presents even when you can't necessarily afford it. Christmas is a beautiful holiday but most people just get sidetracked."

Bob Deemer

"I think the holidays are a waste of time. It doesn't stress me out at all."

Ryan Blackwell

"Absolutely! It's very hard for a gay man like myself. My family doesn't accept that I'm gay. I can't bring my partner home. It's supposed to be a time to bring families together. "

Dan McCaskell

"The media commercializing the holidays stresses us all out. Unfortunately, I get caught up in it. The obligations are stressful. I could live without all the hype."[[In-content Ad]]
