Why do people get so angry this time of year?

ANGRY? What do you mean angry? Comming here accusing people "bringing out the worst" No wonder people aren't at their best having to read accusitions left and right about being bad!!!! Geee, calm down and it will be much better!!
Ohhh, no, I am not really angry :)

My psychologist friends tell me that anger typically stems from broken promises and broken "expectations." The first bit you cant' control, since if someone else promises something to you and then breaks it, the initiative to set up the anger chain is not your own.

Expectations? If you don't expect much out of people, you are rarely disappointed and quite often pleasantly surprised, which can lead to joy, the opposite of anger. :)
