    For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love and goodwill towards all. Yet, for many, the holiday season often means stress, fatigue, pressure, disappointment and loneliness.
    These feelings, often known as the "holiday blues, " may be even more【C1】________this year, due to the emotional turmoil of the past few months, not to【C2】________the unsteady economy.
    Experts say even the more ritual tasks of shopping,【C3】________, late-night parties, cooking, planning and family【C4】________can be holiday stressors. In addition, the psychological phenomenon known as【C5】________affective disorder, or SAD, may bring a specific type of depression【C6】________to winter’s shorter days and longer nights.
    "Certainly just because it’s the【C7】________which doesn’t mean people are going to be happy, " says Dr. Doug Jacobs of Harvard University. "And【C8】________will be a particularly hard holiday for some who are dealing with a【C9】________job, debt, or even a lost loved one. "
    And with family reunions becoming less frequent【C10】________over the years, there is now the added pressure of getting just one【C11】________to get it all right. "Families are much more disparate now, " says John Stutsman, a【C12】________psychologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

    Still, say experts, the【C15】________should be addressed. The most essential step, says Stutsman, is for the individuals to【C16】________their feelings and the reason for their withdrawal. "Denial will only【C17】________the stress they’re feeling. "
    Stutsman also advises that【C18】________"avoidance is actually not such a bad idea. " In some situations, fulfilling social【C19】________"may be self-destructive when the best thing may be to just stay home. " The healthy【C20】________has to do with taking care of oneself. [br] 【C1】
