Backed up ’til January

As soon as your last pile of leftover turkey dwindles to an empty plate, the Christmas season arrives. Green is accompanied by its contrasting companion of red and the scent of evening fires tumble from neighborhood chimneys. Blinking lights radiate with holiday excitement and plastic bags plump with thoughtful gifts stash in secret hiding spots.

Christmas is in full effect, which means along with all the excitement, comes congestion. Everyday schedules are flooded with holiday responsibilities. Parties scatter the month of December like ornaments on a decorated fir. The roads creep the pace of a melting snowman and a chore unrelated to Christmas becomes January’s responsibility.

How do you feel the strains of the holidays?
