Sentence 1: The holiday season can be one of high expectations and increased stress.
Sentence 2: People want the season to be perfect, peaceful, and happy.
Sentence 3: The reality often is that the gifts are inappropriate, everything costs too much money, everyone eats and drinks too much, and some of the relatives can be difficult.

Because people want the holiday season to be perfect, peaceful, and happy, it can be a time of high expectations and increased stress; the reality often is that the gifts are inappropriate, everything costs too much money, everyone eats and drinks too much, and some relatives can be difficult.

While people want the holiday season to be perfect, peaceful, and happy, this time of year can be full of high expectations and increased stress; the reality is often that the gifts are inappropriate, everything costs too much money, everyone eats and drinks too much, and some relatives can be difficult.
