There are several stress Christmas game choices available on the internet for download or immediate play. Some of them are fun, and some are a little annoying - but almost all of them will allow your brain to take a ten-minute break whether you're at the office or on the couch with the laptop.

Why the Stress at Christmas?

So why do we need a game to distract us? Why are we stressed at Christmas more than at other times of the year? The reasons are many, but a major cause of stress around the holidays is personal finances. With all of the gifts we need to buy, the parties we must attend, the decorations, and travel - the costs can soar high above our normal monthly budgets. And when money is already tight, the Christmas season can put a huge burden on our ability to meet our regular financial commitments. That leads to stress that can take the joy out of what should be a time of fun, family, and celebration.

What to Do?

If you have financial stress that a quick computer game will not solve, take action to relieve that stress through the holidays and beyond. There are truly only two ways to repair a negative financial situation: take in more money or spend less money. It sounds simple, but it is a profound concept - the money going into the budget has to be more than the money going out of the budget.

There are, of course, many ways to spend less around Christmas (like making gifts, cutting back on travel, etc.) and a few ways to increase your income (find a new or additional job, start a home-based business, or have a garage sale). But whatever you decide, take the action necessary to get out of the financial hole you're in and stick to that course of action. Gaining financial freedom is maybe the best Christmas gift you will ever give yourself; and one that keeps on giving. Then maybe you will find the time to play a few crazy computer games just for fun, and not because you're trying to control your blood pressure.
