I often have a hard time understanding why so many people get so FRUSTRATED during the holidays -- until I go out in public and partake of the madness.

And she stays busy well into the new year -- because a huge percentage of those people default on their loans. Why do we feel compelled to go so deeply in DEBT buying gifts? It seems as though every year the bar is raised -- we are expected to spend more and more.
