Mall Christmas

Christmas stresses people out. Relax. Look at the mall as the hilarious thing it is. Humanity in a fishbowl. Relax while driving. Half the stress of shopping is the drive. Just take your time. Shop remembering that these are gifts, not symbols of how much you love them, or representations of your perception of their identity. There are just stuff. When going to the mall or stores, wear something warm and eat something before you go. Do not eat there, it's such a waste of time, and it will probably make you sick. Say "Merry Christmas" to as many strangers as possible, especially store workers. Their smiles will help lift stress. But above all relax.
