A piece of additional good news here in the week of feasts, parties and eating-big is that researchers from the USA found that people don’t really pick up as much weight during the Christmas season as everyone thought. Yanovski and his team suggest that the average American pick up about 0.48 kg during the Christmas season. In fact, Lorrie Grant found that 25% of people doing shopping during this time suffer from intense headaches, and 11% of people struggle with sleeplessness. As to be expected, people generate 25% more rubbish during the festive season than in any other time of the year.
This time between Christmas and new year is socializing-time, eating-time and shopping-time. That’s also why it’s a good time to keep moderation in mind. And to not forget about the Lord. He isn’t on leave because we might be on leave. He’s not off-duty when we’re not on-duty. God doesn’t sleep or slumber over the festive season. That’s why we bow before Him even here in the last week of 2011, and welcome Him as the Guest of Honor to every feast. Then we’re living towards 2012 in the right way.
