Cut back on the Christmas carols

It’s not uncommon for Christmas music to trigger feelings of sadness and angst — especially when played too early. “Christmas music is likely to irritate people if it’s played too loudly and too early,” clinical psychologist Linda Blair told Sky News. “It might make us feel that we’re trapped.

Others might just walk out of the shop. It’s a risk.”
