(PRWEB) December 23, 2006 -- Forty-three percent of quiz respondents on Chatterbean.com--an interactive quiz site on pop culture trends--report that after spending time with their families during the holidays they are "full of cheer." Adversely, nearly 30 percent of the respondents are "exhausted" after the stress of being home for the holidays leaves them drained. Two of Chatterbean.com's fun holiday quizzes may help find a balance for the stressful holiday season.
"About four in 10 Americans regard the holidays as a personally stressful period," a recent Gallup Poll reports. "A similar number say they feel more stress during these weeks than at other times of the year."
Chatterbean.com users were asked, "When it comes to the holiday and spending time with your whole family, how do you feel at the end of the night?" In addition to being "full of cheer," and "exhausted," 14 percent of quiz respondents answered that they are "refreshed--family time makes me feel more centered." Another 14 percent answered "a little frustrated--it's hard to adjust to the needs of more people than I'm used to."
