10 Top Causes Of Holiday Stress
What If Something Really Tragic Happens?
Many people ask me, "but what if something truly tragic happens during the holidays? How is it possible not to be stressed then?" Well, this is really possible, but you'll have to do some work to achieve it.
Death, illness, disasters, and other major calamities don't really care that it's a holiday. They often occur at inopportune times, and if this happens to you, your friends, or a family member during the holiday season, this can be a great source of stress.
Once again, if you don't have the expectation that things will always go well, or that the holidays will always be joyous, you can deal with these negative realities more easily.
Some years, you may have to forgo celebrating the holidays to mourn the death of a loved one or to provide emotional or other support to a stricken friend or acquaintance. You may get some flack from other people, but that should be easy for you to deal with.
The point is, do what you think is right for you at the moment, and don't let others make you feel bad about it.
Several years ago, my wife Christina and I left home to spend New Year's weekend with a good friend of ours and his girlfriend, who had flown in from her home town a day or two earlier.
By the time Christina and I arrived, the girlfriend had broken off the relationship and returned home. Our friend was devastated, and he begged us to go off on our own, since he wouldn't be much fun to be around. But we wouldn't have any of that!
If our friend was hurting, we wanted to be by his side to provide comfort and support. So the three of us packed up, drove to the vacation spot we had previously picked out, and we all had a truly memorable time.

Philippines Light Rail Transit Public Transportation
The Manila Light Rail Transit System (Filipino: Sistema ng Magaan na Riles Panlulan ng Maynila),[citation needed] popularly known as the LRT, is a metropolitan rail system serving the Metro Manila area in the Philippines. Its twenty-nine stations over 28.8 kilometers (17.9 mi) of mostly elevated track form two lines. LRT Line 1, also called the Yellow Line, opened in 1984 and travels a north–south route. LRT Line 2, the Purple Line, was completed in 2004 and runs east–west.
The LRT is operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the authority of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Along with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System (MRT, also called the Blue Line), and the Philippine National Railways (PNR), the LRT is part of Metro Manila's rail transportation infrastructure known as the Strong Republic Transit System (SRTS)
