Christmas Time... is here

It’s that time of year again… the time when the streets are covered with lights and everyone is happy because its Christmas time. Well, most people are happy.

If I had to imagine, stress levels are typically peak around this time of year. With all the crowded shopping, the family visits, buying Christmas presents, baking cookies, drinking eggnog, never ending Christmas parties, writing Christmas cards, faking a smile more than normal, and several other actions that can increase stress levels.

So how will we all deal with this peak in stress, well in theory, if everyone’s stress increases by the same amount, and all else is held constant, than chaos will of course ensue… right? Wrong, the actual result in everyone’s stress increasing causes trash to go increase. Believe it or not, when people stress, they eat more, smoke more, use more, and therefore increase the amount of trash produced. So try not to stress, and try not to create more trash, because there’s already way to much in this world.

Or, just give up stressing out like I did 2 years ago.
