The British publication Hull Daily Mail talked to two psychiatrists who say the urge to decorate for Christmas is tied to nostalgia and "childhood magical emotions of excitement". Putting up the decorations early, they say, just "extends the excitement" and can help make us happier. When is the right time to put up Christmas decorations? Should they go up before Thanksgiving? Could putting them up too early end up affecting *other* people's happiness?

- Everyone in the US who read the newspaper funny pages from 1980-1995 will likely remember the witty comic The Far Side by Gary Larson.

- An EasyJet flight from England to Spain, was delayed: the pilot didn’t show up for the flight. Passenger Michael Bradley, heading out for vacation with his wife and young son, stepped forward: he had his pilot’s license on him, and he’d be happy to fly the jet to Spain. It took less than a minute to get a reply from the airline: yes. It was an easy decision for EasyJet since Bradley is a pilot for the airline, and he is qualified to fly the plane being used.
