Do the holidays stress you out? Do they bring out the best in you -- or the worst? Or, maybe you are elsewhere in the universe.....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

The only thing that stress me out are radio stations playing christmas music non stop for more than a month.

(Now here comes my plug for the good ol' CBC...Christmas music won't be non-stop until Christmas Eve, and it'll be high quality.)There's too much to do, too much to get accomplished, etc, and that produces a kind of stress -- but on the whole, I do love this time of year.

My favorite station turned into a Christmas song station. Who really wants to listen to THAT much Christmas music?!
I like the Holidays though... pretty decorations, colder days... and getting presents!

I finish my Christmas shopping well in advance, so I don't have to deal with the overcrowded, overheated stores with their endless Christmas carols. The only stress I really have is lots of tests in the weeks before Christmas, but I enjoy the 2-week Christmas break. I do wish I were a lot closer to my family geographically, but at least there are phone calls (far cheaper than just a few years ago), faxes and email.

I am sort of inbetween. I really like things about this time of year. I don't like others. I don't like the pressure it puts people under, for gifts and for how you spend it etc. I do like the spirit of it, the music, the lights and the warmth etc.
I do my best to keep it simple though, not expensive gifts. Simple foods etc.

I'm working through Christmas and thanking my lucky stars for it.
I'm not religious at all but I would rather the religious aspect to be pushed rather than a man in a red suit that brings gifts to good children and the advertising of what seems to be endless sales. They're not, half of them are simply sales that would happen anyway, and the other half are ones where the savings are minimal. Yet it's one long sale as stores order lots of stock knowing the marketing ploy has worked and pressure is on to buy and impress.
Bring on the spirit of giving.
Why is it that a small genuine gesture of appreciation of love is worth less than a large expensive gift? And why is it that at Christmas it's as if someone pulled a switch to transmit the thought of goodwill but forgot the switch for the spirit and heart of goodwill?
And why only around Christmas? What about the rest of the year? Are we then only allowed to be scrooges?

I enjoy this time of year because everyone is so busy and I enjoy buying presents. It's really the only day of the year that everyone is in a good mood all at once.
I don't like the fact that because it is cold out, most shoppers think they can save on deo and then expect to stand in a non-ventilated store for hours in line and not make a single person nauseous.
