After all these years, it has finally dawned on me why we subject ourselves to the hustle and bustle... the endless hours... of holiday preparation.
We do it willingly to distract ourselves from the long dark nights of December.
And the reason we set New Year's resolutions is so that we'll continue to have something to focus on other than the long dark nights of January and February. Because let's face it... by March those resolutions are out the window.
In other words, we set ourselves up for stress purely as a distraction.
Well, this year my New Year's Resolution is to not make any resolutions. I'll avoid the stress and...more relaxed... spend those long dark nights snoring under the covers.
