silly season (or xmas rush) has officially started. well here anyway. in two days i have seen 4 car accidents where the cars are right offs and there are ambulences involved. i have been stuck in grid lock at times that the traffic in that area would normally flow. our car was broken into. crime is always bad in this area but christmas is so bad it makes me not like to go out on these days. all my friends and family seem to stress so much at this time of year and even doing the grocery shopping sux because it is way to busy and you have to wait in line for ages with screaming children. its meant to be a time of year to enjoy ourselves and i just feel so sad when i see all these accidents and everyone around me being stressed. and i think of the christmas these ppl will have with their cars being written off and even ppl being injured. having said that though i do enjoy christmas so much more now i have kids and extended family to appreciate. thanks for listening, anyone else think christmas is the silly season?

Yeh - the world goes way weird around Christmas time. Have you also noticed how lots of natural disasters also occur around this time ? air crashes, tsunamis, big earthquakes. I think everything becomes so unbalanced. Jaahhda :-)
