As I believe it is commonly known, the holidays can be a very depressing time for many folks and this seems to have been the case for a long time. The media seems to revel in reporting bad stories during the holidays, for that fact they do it all year long. So I stay away from the news and TV in general, they are part of the problem.

Newspapers are not much better but at least I have the option of picking what I want to digest. I think far too many folks see TV as the only means of getting "good/accurate/factual" information, how unfortunate is that.

It most unfortunate that people see the Christmas holidays (from T'giving until Jan. 2nd) as a time to be kind to their fellow man when they should behave that way 365 days of the year.
