This is so true, lets not forget the stress of finals that take place right before the holidays. The list of suggestions you gave was good, We'll see if i can put any of them to use and not procrastinate like i generally do.
I like your stress suggestions. Good blog! Money is a huge stressor around holidays especially for college students. Finals are also a killer.
I bet this year there is going to be a lot of mutual agreements not to by gifts or spend under a certain amount of money on gifts for people with the way the economy is. On gifts most people procrastinate which leads to a decent amount of stress, but I think it's kinda fun sometimes.
