Holiday Season

Why do people act so different around the holidays? Is it the relief of completing another year or the celebration of the Christmas season? I find it remarkable how people interact during this time with family, friends and peers. People who do not usually talk inevitably end up conversing and catching up on what has taken place over the past few months.

I think we should all strive for a environment and culture where we do not need a holiday to bring out these emotions. Wouldn't it be great if people were genuinely concerned about each other and showed respect regardless of the time of the year. Of course it is now the day after Christmas and I would argue to continue to the spirit of goodwill, just because Christmas is over does not mean the feeling has to go away.
