This Is Why The Holidays Can Suck
While you're trying to have a wonderful Christmas season, AsapSCIENCE is here to ruin it for you, with a report on all the ways winter holidays can be bad for you. Science has something depressing to say about spending, weight gain, drinking, and disappointment. And they don't go into specifics on how to avoid those dangers. I think a little attitude adjustment is in order. Don't do more than you feel comfortable doing. Don't try to compete with others. Take time to enjoy the small things. And don't be afraid of missing out- if you calm dawn and make it through the holidays, there will be other Christmases to do it all over again.

Next to the original Charles Dicken's Christmas carol,This a great lesson to be learned
I'm not sure where they got the weight
gain stats. I'm good for 2 lbs on
Halloween, 3 on Thanksgiving, and I
don't even want to talk about Christmas.

I'm afraid to even step on the scales any more ROFL
I'm convinced holidays suck because so much time is spent hyping them. Look at all the time spent on the run-up to Christmas, for example . . . weeks if not months of ads, music, promotions, reminders, and TV specials (f'rinstance, I think it was 'way back in September that Hallmark became the "all Christmas movies all the time" channel on cable).
Then, BANG! It's here ... for one day. Twenty-four hours, and that's it. You don't get anywhere near the anticipated time to enjoy it, because next day the tree is taken down and out on the curb for the rubbish pickup, the lights are turned off and taken down, the jingle bells are put away until next November, the TV schedule goes back to what passes for normal, and the merchants mark down the remaining Christmas goodies to ten cents on the dollar to make room for the Super Bowl snack food and Valentine/Easter candy displays.
