Holiday Stress and Pumpkin Pie

So it goes without saying that the holiday season adds its own flavor of stress. Of course the garden variety we deal with in the USA are trivial at best. We worry about things like the perfect gift idea, making it to all the meals at each family unit, how many days we get off work, Christmas bonuses, holiday pounds, what movie to see, etc etc. The rest of the world worries about clean drinking water, disease, shelter, war, etc, etc. I think you get the idea. So when you stressed out of your mind this season, suck it up and be thankful that we live in the most blessed place on earth. Mom if you are reading this bring a pumpkin pie to Thanksgiving so I won't stress over it.
