Why women dread the emotional labour of Christmas …thoughts?
Susan Quilliam describes the “emotional choreography of Christmas”. She says: “In order to give out emotionally, very often women have to put their own needs so firmly to one side that they’re not even sure they have any. This is not being weak or vulnerable.
