Every year no matter how much I try NOT, I about have a break down before Christmas. However, some of the most joyous Christmases I can ever remember seem to be right in the middle of some of the most stressful times of my life.

I think it is all related to my endorphin rush theory. Like I've written on here before, science has established that endorphins are produced by our brains in response to various stimuli including relief of serious stress and endorphins produce euphoria which feels like joy.
So I suppose some of the joy of those terrific Christmases I remember might have come from the stress finally being over. ??

Anyway, that's my new excuse for giving up on avoiding stress durig the holidays. Trying to avoid it only seemed to create more stress anyway. So this year I'm just going with the flo. If it's stressful, I'm just going to get STRESSED and everyone better get OUT OF MY WAY!!!

So There!!

Well anyay, it's a concept.
