I saw that article on the BBC website while I was drinking my morning tea. While I was reading it, I kept thinking "I should really have done this too".

The constant stress of striving for perfection is detrimental to my mental equilibrium and I feel like I'm slipping further and further into a familiar abyss that I will struggle to escape from once the Christmas season is over.

I like Christmas and I love to make my family happy, but not if it's going to reduce me to a nervous wreck.
