With Black Friday shopping over and the holiday season in full swing, we thought the timing was ripe to share some of our holiday cheers and fears. This is by no means comprehensive, but it’s our take over at The Freckled Fellow on the highs and lows of this season. Here we go:
Cheers (Highs)
+ being thankful for what you already have
+ seeing extended family
+ holiday decorations on houses, stores, and public spaces
+ using extra spirit to help out those in need
+ festivities that are focused on friends, food, and fun
Fears (Lows)
+ prioritizing material needs over everything else
+ travel challenges on the ground and in the air
+ additional stress of getting gifts, planning events, financial woes, and over-eating
+ retail workers having to work on Thanksgiving
+ people becoming combative over cheap products
