Arguments under the Christmas tree: How to avoid a nervous festival!
Starry nights and the celebration of love? During the Christmas season, the mood is often clouded by conflict. Tonight at 8:15 p.m. the new “Tatort” from Bremen, “Silent Night,” will be shown on ORF 2. Investigators Liv Moormann and Linda Selb have to deal with a bloody crime: the head of a family is found dead the day after Christmas, even though the celebration the evening before was supposed to have been harmonious. But how krone.at reports, not everything seems to be harmonious here. It turns out that not only was there a festive mood between the family members, but there were also dark secrets hidden.
According to psychologists, the car journey during the Christmas holidays can be a source of stress that leads to conflict. Almost 25% of Germans report arguments during the festival, surveys show. This is no coincidence. Professor Ricarda Rehwaldt from IU International University explains that Christmas stress is often exacerbated by high expectations and the stress of tasks such as decorating and cooking. Often it's small discussions that lead to arguments about food - a topic that not only penetrates the living room, but also into the new "crime scene", which alludes to old family conflicts, as well zdf.de reported.
Potential for conflict during the holidays
The benefits of peaceful get-togethers and contemplation are often quickly lost as soon as families come together. While the tension in the “crime scene” is kept high by a murder, psychologists advise preventing conflicts with calmness and open conversations. Professor Rehwaldt encourages you to clarify your thoughts on problematic topics in advance and to set clear boundaries. This could help avoid the dreaded arguments under the Christmas tree.
For the actresses of “Tatort”, the shoot is underlined by Christmas feelings and initial anticipation. Nevertheless, they also reflect that the Christmas season is often associated with stress and conflict in their own families. How can these challenges be met? Less stress and more serenity could be the key to making Christmas the beautiful experience it should be.
