For the most part it is very happy stress. But for my mother it is not. My father died on the 24th of December, and my grandmother (my mother's mother) died on the 26th of December, so she needs a lot of extra support around this time of the year. I always look on the bright side about my father's death. Because he died at Christmas I was with him when he died. I might not have been there had my law finals not been over. The death was unexpected, and the result of a botched heart surgery. I was really glad I got to be with him in the short time he spent in the hospital, and it gave me a chance to say goodbye, and not everyone gets that chance. I don't expect my mother to have that kind of perspective though. And it has ruined the holidays for her, which is too bad since her grandchildren do love her very much.
