So Christmas is just around the corner, 3 days. I was driving down the streets of the Heights the other day, at night when all the lights were up and the decorations were out and it made me think, what makes a person decide to decorate their house or not? I thought, I never decorate my place, although I'm usually in an apartment. But for those that have a house and don't have any inclination or desire to decorate or maybe they do one year and not another. Then I was thinking, if a person were in financial hardships, which is probably the most stressful life situation that influences the way a person behaves or thinks, I would assume they wouldn't feel the desire to decorate their houses. So, is it then, houses that are decorated are happy and in a good place? What about those that aren't in a good place or happy, stressed, depressed, would they decorate their houses? And if they do, I'm sure there are those out there, how does that work? So you can be depressed about your life and still decorate your house? I just find it so odd a person can compartmentalize these things. I guess everybody is different...it's the Christmas season and maybe that in itself helps people get through the tough times, get their mind off of things. They say when you're depressed, look at a picture of something that makes you happy. Or that pets extend your life for 5 years.
Christmas is just around the corner...happy thoughts...
