I think this is simply a sign of maturity.

I look at the fools who arrive at the last minute and are rude, panicked and in a frenzy. Usually they are either immature chronologically or mentally.

Thank you. I'm glad that so many Freepers appear to "get" my post. I came up with the title for shock value.

I was inspired to write this post for two reasons. One reason is that I have witnessed family members literally ruin their holiday over being constantly stressed out and doing everything last minute. One of my favorite sayings is that "Stress is self-induced". It really is.

Here it is two days before Christmas and I'm sitting at home watching the lights twinkle on my tree as I post this. All the shopping is done. The firewood is stacked. The larders are full of food and drink. And Christmas music is playing on the stereo. All that remains is to wait for my guests to arrive and I hope they are not too stressed out when they get here - or it shall be my task to calm them down.

Back when OJ was running down the concourses and leaping over the velvet ropes, traveling by plane was a time efficiency. Now in Muzzie World, not so much.

The Eastern Air Shuttle was the best.

Usually they are either immature chronologically aka snowflakes or mentally ill liberals.
