For many people the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, but for others it can be a time of stress and anxiety. In this episode of "The Best of Health," we learn about the sources of holiday stress and the best ways to survive the holidays (relatively) unscathed.

Our guest is Patrick Carrillo, PhD -- the outpatient clinical director of behavioral health at Confluence Health -- who answers questions about holiday headaches.

• What causes holiday stress and anxiety?
• Which holiday activities are typically the most stressful?
• How can you manage expectations (yours and others’) during the holidays?
• How can you reduce holiday stress?
• How do you deal with family disagreements, conflicts and political differences?
