Isn’t it ironic how December is always regarded as the season to be merry and yet it is probably one of the most hectic and stressful times of the year? The stress of wrapping up business for the year, driving on our roads and facing overcrowded shopping centers!! Finally we have the gathering of the clans, for many families this can be a stressful time in their lives. We also think of the matric pupils who nervously await their final results.
