Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. If someone hurts you, a loved one betrays you or you have experienced some valid injustice, is it quite natural to become angry.  

IT IS WHEN ANGRY OUTBURSTS ARE FREQUENT AND/OR FOR INSIGNIFICANT THINGS, THAT IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS.

Along with the holidays, come the family and social gatherings. For some people, these gatherings are fun, joyful events that they are very much looking forward to attending. For others, it is a dreaded event. If it is something that you dread, think about why you feel that way. Is it because of an old hurt inflicted by someone?
