Dispute under the Christmas tree: This is how you avoid the festival of the nerves!

Dispute under the Christmas tree: This is how you avoid the festival of the nerves!

Bremen, Deutschland - starry -clear nights and the festival of love? During the Christmas season, the mood is often clouded by conflicts. Tonight at 8:15 p.m. The new "crime scene" from Bremen, "Silent Night" runs in ORF 2. The investigators Liv Moormann and Linda Selb have to deal with a bloody crime: a head of the family is found dead the day after Christmas, although the celebration is said to have been harmonious the evening before. But as krone.at reports, not everything seems harmonious here. It turns out that there was not only a festive atmosphere between the family members, but were also hidden dark secrets.

The car trip to the Christmas holidays can already be a source of stress, which leads to conflicts. Almost 25 % of Germans report disputes during the festival, as surveys show. This is no coincidence. Professor Ricarda Rehwaldt from the IU International University explains that Christmas stress is often reinforced by high expectations and the burden of tasks such as decorating and cooking. Often it is small discussions that lead to eating in quarrels-a topic that not only penetrates into the living room, but also into the new "crime scene", which also alludes to old family conflicts, as also zdf.de reported.

conflict potential on the holidays

The advantages of peaceful get -together and contemplation are often quickly gone as soon as the families come together. While the tension is kept up by a murder in the "crime scene", psychologists advise to prevent conflicts with serenity and open conversations. Professor Rehwaldt encourages to clarify thoughts on problematic topics in advance and to draw clear limits. This could help to avoid the dreaded disputes under the Christmas tree.

For the actresses of the "crime scene", the shoot is underlined by Christmas feelings and initial anticipation. Nevertheless, they also reflect that Christmas in their own families is often linked to stress and conflicts. How can you meet these challenges? Less stress and more serenity could be the key to make Christmas a beautiful experience that it should be.
