Despite Thanksgiving being days away, avoiding the tunes of Christmas can already be a chore. From retailers playing traditional holiday music to a number of radio stations switching their format for the holidays, the music of the season is already starting to take over. And while many gleefully play Christmas music while there are still leaves on the trees, the music of the Christmas season might not be beneficial to your health. In an interview with Sky News, clinical psychologist Linda Blair said, "Music goes right to our emotions immediately and it bypasses rationality."Much of this, Blair told Sky News, is due to the stresses that come with the holiday season. "It might make us feel that we're trapped - it's a reminder that we have to buy presents, cater for people, organize celebrations," Blair said in the interview. "Some people will react to that by making impulse purchases, which the retailer likes. Others might just walk out of the shop. It's a risk."Dr. Rhonda Freeman has a more balanced approach toward Christmas music. She said in an interview with NBC News that for some, the music is a reminder of the joy of the holiday season."When the brain makes these associations with something very positive and pleasurable, the rewards system is being activated [which triggers] a number of chemicals including dopamine," she told NBC News. But for others, Freeman said, "The reward system can also be associated with pain. For that population, Christmas songs can be very painful to hear.”This can especially be true for those who work in retail, who are forced to hear the music almost every day for hours. So what is your opinion? Is it time to dust off the Christmas CDs and enjoy the sounds of the season, or would you prefer to wait? 1803

Data obtained by The Associated Press shows U.S. Postal Service districts across the nation are missing the agency’s own standards for on-time delivery as millions of Americans prepare to vote by mail.The lag times are especially pronounced in key regions of some battleground states, where delivery times are below the national average.That raises the possibility that scores of mailed ballots could miss deadlines for reaching local election offices if voters wait too long.Missing a deadline is one of the key reasons mail-in ballots get rejected.Postal service leaders have said the agency will prioritize election mail.The USPS strongly recommends that voters request their mail-in ballots at the earliest point allowable, but no later than 15 days prior to Election Day, which is on Nov. 3.The USPS also recommends that voters mail their ballots at least one week prior to their states' due dates to allow for timely receipt by election officials.If you don’t want to rely on the USPS to deliver your ballot to election officials, many communities provide locations where you can drop your ballot off yourself.Click here for learn more from the USPS about voting by mail. 1185

Despite the news from recent weeks, Austin Eubanks does have hope for the future; confidence that the country will stem the tide of mass shootings.Eubanks was underneath a table in the library at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, when he was shot twice, once in his hand and once in his knee.His best friend, Corey DePooter, was one of the 13 victims killed that day.“Columbine was really the tipping point for this phenomenon,” Eubanks says.The phenomenon he describes is the issue of mass shootings, occurring more and more frequently and in places traditionally considered safe: schools, outdoor concerts, even churches.“I never thought that it would get to this point. My hope was always that Columbine was going to be an outlier.”After the Nov. 5 shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, where 26 victims were killed, Columbine is no longer even among the top ten deadliest mass shootings in the U.S.And that, Eubanks says, is "terrifying."Has the country learned anything as a society since Columbine? Perhaps, he says.“I would hate to think there wasn’t learning along the way. The problem is you can’t have learning without action. What have we done about it? Nothing. We haven’t done anything, and that’s incredibly frustrating for me.”He’s frustrated that more hasn’t been done to address the obvious problems: mental health and guns.Individually, he says, everyone can do more. Eubanks is a firm believer that the rise in mass shootings has a direct correlation to the rise in the opioid and addiction crisis in the U.S.Following his injuries at Columbine, he was immediately put on prescription meds for his physical pain. But that, he says, quickly turned into a desire for more — more pain meds but also a need for illicit drugs and then alcohol.“My drug of choice was always ‘more.’ I wanted to take whatever you had that would allow me to not feel present.”A decade went by before he finally found recovery. Now, recovery is his life’s work. He’s the Chief Operating Officer at Foundry Treatment Center in the mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.As a society, Eubanks says, we don’t do enough to honor the lives of those taken in these mass shooting events.“For me personally, the way that I remember my best friend is by doing the work I do today,” Eubanks says. “So I’m able to lend my voice to this conversation on how we impact change.""If we are all able to come together and talk about how we can evolve as a society to help prevent this down the road, then that honors the memory of all victims.”Eubanks says there is another way we can all honor the victims, and that’s by working to end mass shootings. Aside from the seemingly endless debate over policy changes in Washington, there’s something simple everyone can do in their daily lives: reach out to people, even those who may seem “different.”He says that since a majority of the attackers exhibit the same common denominator--loneliness--it’s preventable, simply by reaching out and focusing more on inclusion of others every day.“You have to look at your community and say ‘How can I impact change in my community?’ One of the ways is focusing on your own healing and being an example for others. From there, look at your family and say ‘how am I raising my kids? Am I normalizing these conversations in my kids?’”Those conversations, he says, should be about preventing loneliness and preventing addiction as a symptom of trauma.And even though Eubanks admits that the more these events continue to occur, the more desensitized the country becomes, the trick is not letting that deter motivation for change.“[Americans] have to sit down and think, ‘What am I willing to accept in my society, and what am I willing to not accept in my society?’ And for me personally, I’m not willing to accept the fact that we are just going to continue to allow these episodes of mass violence to continue to snowball out of control.”“We were at a point where we shouldn’t have continued to allow this to happen 20 years ago,” Eubanks says. “We have to get motivated to do something about this and we can’t wait any longer.” 4154
