The bible says in Proverbs 17:22: A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. But each year around this time this standard is put to the test. In the silly season, we start to see more people on the roads, in the shops and malls. This translates into more people driving erratically, cutting people off, honking horns, etc. In the stores, you will see people look to cut in line or other folks will be less aware of your personal space or even hold others up due to their absentmindedness.
1. What have you experienced and what things do you do to keep your composure and a merry heart?
2. Do you share these ideas with friends or family or let them fend for themselves?
3. Do you think things are getting better or worse in this area?
ExactlyYou throw in a few bah humbugs too?
Christmas is easily my favorite time of the year and I’ve never spent one second considering the concept of there being extra drama I need to deal with.

Was this turned into a movie with Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis?I recommend reading this book:
Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences—and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.
