A Christmas Plea for the Stressed and Depressed

Hello, this is Lysistrata's Date Book. I am speaking on behalf of her and her journal. They both asked me to come here today and verify that there is a very valid reason that both have been MIA for several weeks now. At this time of the year, so many people have so many things to do, from shopping for the 451,357,795 perfect gifts to decorating the house with 451,357,795 twinkle lights to organizing the 451,357,795 different holiday invitations to getting the house ready for the 451,357,795 relatives that will be visiting for the next 3 weeks. It can be a very stressful time. People overeat, they drink too much, they get depressed. The suicide rate skyrockets this time of year because there's so much pressure to have the perfect holiday season. Common sense should tell you that it's virtually impossible for anyone that busy to regularly update their journal. Even Lysistrata. Except she doesn't have to do all of those things. Nope. Uh-huh. See, she got her gifts before Thanksgiving, her house was decorated the week after Thanksgiving, she didn't get any invitations, and all those relatives are staying with her parents. What can I say? She planned ahead. So why hasn't she updated in over 3 weeks? Well, it's simple. She didn't feel like it. Hope you can understand. Happy Holidays.
