Three going on....? |
"Have you noticed how much happier everyone is this time of year?" Someone asked me that the other day and frankly, I was a bit shocked.
I witness the opposite each year. Maybe it is because we are in retail business and people are regularly complaining -- not enough time or money to do what they need to do. In general, people are impatient and grumpier than the rest of the year - hands down.
Stress is over the top for many people at Christmas time. Personally, I find this time of year relaxing as I am prepared at least a month or two in advance. My goal is to have all the gifts wrapped and baking done by November.
