Let's face it: the holidays often force us to spend more time with the family members we otherwise wouldn't spend that much time with. Add to that the stress of shopping and cooking, and it's almost a surprise how we managed to get through these few weeks at all.
Psychologists say that taking care of our mental health is very important during the holidays. Almost nine in 10 adults in 2023 said there's at least one thing that causes them stress during the holiday season. Financial concerns, finding the right gifts, and food and alcohol-related issues make people worry the most.

Right? Though, I can understand that most Uber drivers probably don't want someone yakking in the back seat of their car.

It looks like an African pouched rat (totally different species) and they're kept as pets and also trained by Apopo to sniff out land mines. So technically yes it's a rat but not the kind you're thinking of.
One way we can alleviate the holiday stress is through laughter. What's more, we might even find a connection with our family members through humor. When we're stressed, we may say some things we don't mean. In the heat of the moment, we might insult, disrespect, or hurt others.
But what if we trained ourselves to have a little bit of humor in these types of stressful situations? Researchers have found that humor helps strengthen bonds, improves communication, and results in more satisfactory relationships. Humor can lighten up a tense conversation and the atmosphere around the holiday dinner table.

My husband and I signed all the required documents on top of a Justice of Peace’s car in the parking lot of a TGI Fridays with our parents as witnesses. The JoP was my godfather. We all went inside and had dinner afterwards. Best “wedding” ever.

Hubby and I invited our friends to a night at our favorite pub and surprised them all (except our best friend who was the officiant) by getting married on the patio. No pressure to dress up or buy gifts, the pub donated the champagne, we paid for the food, everyone paid for their own beverages, and a good time was had by all! That's the best wedding ever!

I learned here it's called a desk wedding (Schreibtisch -Ehe) .... With all papers on hand you can do it in your lunch break time without anyone than the notary. Pay like 50€ , don't joke around, read and sign the papers, done. But because of taxes your bosses will know and may tell others (that can become mad at your for not saying or celebrating)

Really? I honestly have never met anyone who does. Would you mind telling me what about them you like? Is it just seeing two people you care about commit to each other or do you enjoy being a +1 who doesn't even know the couple just as much? And does it matter if it's in a fancy hall or a backyard bbq? I'd be really interested in hearing anything you'd care to share.

Totally agree and this is our plan. We love each other. The day is for as to commit. Sign the papers and then go for a lovely trip. It is our day and not the day to entertain folk . Adios

Don't tell your friends it's a wedding; just invite everyone over and party. Tell them afterward that you married. This saves fancy clothes, presents, and venue.

too many people are greedy and just want the presents or the 'notoriety' of a huge & lavish wedding. i had a nice, small wedding at the courthouse, where they had a very nice area set up with a trellis, flowers, and arch. worked for me!

I married a couple about 20 years ago this way. They had been living together for years. Her employer wouldn't cover him for health insurance unless they were married so I married then. They signed, the witnesses signed and I signed. Congrats, your married.

For sure, the "do da-" about weddings is a waste of money. Compact and economical is best if you cannot pass on the ceremonial stuff. Weddings used to be symbolic in close-knit communities and introduced a couple in their new roles. The wealthy used it to serve as a ceremony noting the ties being made between families in the upper social strata. Ordinary folks did not have the fancy weddings that cost a fortune, and even a couple of generations ago, their idea of a reasonable wedding was a nicer dress (your church attending dress), family members, a minister to seal the agreement, and a photo of the wedded couple. Thereafter, at least in America, it all went to hell and money with everyone hoping to put on a party worthy of a Rockefeller.

in Pennsylvania you can sign the papers in front of two witnesses and file the papers at town hall...married. My daughter did that, although they did have a party several months later.

Wedding is a needless ceremony, two can be together without it. Yet, for most people it's something "necessary" and they cannot imagine not being bound by some crappy piece of paper. And they also bother others with it.

From what I've read on BP this last year, weddings have gotten completely out of hand. So happy we had a simple one; no real expenses, upset people, or regrets.

Done. Would repeat, in fact we do, same day, every year a new ring, a new beach.

Weddings are a waste of money. Just move in together and be happy. No need for the paperwork.
Sven Horlemann 3 weeks ago
Exactly what we did. As none of our families agreed. And we had absolutely no money. Then again, today (yes, indeed) we are married 34 years. Still not screaming at each other. Cheers!

In Colorado you can do exactly that. The bride and groom can sign their own wedding certificate.

Some Young Japanese go to Hawaii with their two sets of parents to do the wedding. It's so they can avoid having to buy presents for all the hangers-on. Evidently it saves them a lot, plus a great Honeymoon with great pics to show. You'll see lovely dressed up couples by the beach or in front of little chapels. Hey, nice work around.
Laughing together also brings us closer together. Psychologist Rod A. Martin claimed that shared laughter strengthens social connections and makes people feel closer to each other. When we laugh with others, it strengthens our sense of togetherness, creating new relationships and fostering those that we already have.

Actually, Marco, they shift around when you're not looking. You don't know who you're going to crack next. It might be the bad egg.
Clinical psychologist Mitch Abblett, Ph.D., proposes injecting more mirthfulness into our conversations. By mirthfulness, he means actively redirecting the conversation during disagreements and fights to make it more witty. Instead of using passive aggression, we should veer towards something more funny and comical.

(after completing something at work and getting better results than anyone else) Coworker: how did you get it to look so good?!? Me: (as I'm walking away) Didn't follow the instructions.
Abblett describes mirthfulness as "Intentionally speaking toward what is lighter, what is just funny about the factfulness of the moment in a way that joins people, unites them in a cause, or points to the universality of the struggle people have in such moments."
He gives an example as well; if you and your partner are frustrated about doing laundry and throwing accusations at each other, try out some humor. Say something like "We're losers for letting the laundry pile up like this," propose you'll need a clone to have all this done. Your partner then can respond that that clone better be Martha Stewart who'll make you a soup-to-nuts dinner while she does it.
So, it's all about being able to come up with quips even when you're stressed and having an argument. "Mirthfulness is not about mocking yourself or others, nor is it about denying, minimizing, or suppressing pain," Abblett notes. The most important thing, according to him, is to be aware that "being a human being means we get to laugh at the folly of thinking for a nanosecond that we were immune to the unfolding of chaos."

Aside from the social aspect, humor can also help us deal with difficulties. Research shows that humor helps us build resilience. When we look at things from a humorous perspective, we don't take things as seriously and, therefore, we stress about them less. Even when we get scared, humor relaxes us and can be calming.
#26
However, humor isn't always the answer to life's problems. We shouldn't use humor to deflect dealing with painful feelings or as a coping or defense mechanism. Naturally, using it as a weapon against others is also a no-no; things can be funny without putting others down.

In Germany this would need to be Ketchup and Mayonnaise, even if the package is not as yellow. … you know…. I don’t remember ever having seen mustard by Heinz.

I live in the wonderful United States where I am free to redo my kitchen but not free to put electrical outlets in the side of a cooking island. Why? because my child could come along and pull/or get hung up on a cord and somehow be electrocuted. I try to explain this to my child as I send him to public school where any gun-nut can open fire on him and his classmates. Only in 'murica.
