Peace on Earth?

It’s that time again! Hang those stockings, dress the tree, and put those classic carols on repeat. Christmas is around the corner. From December first all the way till Christmas day, it’s crunch time. But watch out for those hazardous mall parking lots where people care more about the stall closest to the door rather then the innocent pedestrians. The “Season to be jolly” might as well be the “Season to cause car accidents.” I mean, what says Merry Christmas more then exchanging insurance details? Warning, last minute shopping, wrapping, baking, and preparations may cause the human mind to go insane. Don’t even get me started about Boxing Day!
 
All those family members you've ignored throughout the year? Say good bye to good cheer and festivities. During the holiday you will continually be reminded why you avoided those phone calls and invitations. Sure, your side of the family isn’t so bad, but watch out for the in-laws. Suddenly all those plans are dictated by your unwanted guests and that relaxing weekend at the cabin has turned into madness and frustration!

When the two weeks of your “Holly Jolly Christmas” is over, get used to the lighter wallet and an emptier bank account. The vacation your brother invited you on that you were too proud to decline, ended up being the one thing your debit decided to do at the till. And all those presents the kids begged for all year long? They are now sitting unwrapped collecting dust. But it’s all in the name of St. Nick! Never mind that those toys aren’t going to be touched again, better sitting in your basement then on the stores shelves anyways! And don’t worry; the weight lost from your wallet is sure to be found on your new and improved figure. That abundance of cookies, strudels, pies, and not to mention turkey dinner, has found a way to remain apart of you to keep that Christmas spirit alive. Let’s just hope that one of those presents under the tree was a gym member ship with your name on it.
