The holidays are a time for spending time with your friends and family, cozying up by the fireplace, enjoying those Christmas sweaters, and... also getting a little bit of holiday FOMO.
Whether itâs seeing someoneâs amazing travel plans on their grid, or eyeing the cool, new designer bag they got on their story, the holiday season can also be a source of stress. And to add onto that, you also have the stress of gift giving! Worrying about how much money to spend on a present, and for whom, can be a source of added pressure in what should be a joyous time.
