Great post; but not just for the Christmas season.

Lovely - thanks for sharing that!

It's a very kind sentiment. I hope there aren't a "lot of people" at a breaking point, I'm not sure why there would be. Kindness, consideration and respect for others shouldn't be something people think of only seasonally.

Elmer, I hope not, either, but we don't know what strangers that we see when we're out are going through. I know someone who lost her son two weeks ago to cancer, but she doesn't act devastated when she's out in public. Yes, we should be kind and caring all the time, but it's good to have a reminder that we should be especially so at this special time of the year.

I don't know if I need to love them but I certainly treat all friends and all strangers with respect and politeness.

At any given time, I would imagine there are plenty of people near their breaking point. At this time of year, even at the breaking point, people still have more to do out and about if they ovserve holidays at all, so one is more likely to run into them. But even people for whom things are going swimmingly might feel temporary stress. And for some, holidays on top of everything else, can put one right on the edge.

So, we should all be kind to one another all the time, but sometimes, we might need to put our temporary stressors in perspective, and try to be especially kind, or at least pleasant and patient, to those who cannot do the same.

I'm with elmer on the I hope it's not a seasonal thing. Let's make it a New Year's resolution for every day of the year
