In times of trouble, find a distraction

So take the normal holiday stress, and times it by a lot, and you’ve got their pickle. To help grieve and distract from pain overall, Daniel and Sam focus on pursuing the attention of a girl Sam has a crush on, which they do by teaching him the drums and chasing her to the airport. And, lo and behold, it helps. If you’re going through a particularly troublesome holiday season for a reason out of your control, ï¬nd an outlet to immerse yourself in. Binge watch a TV series you’ve never seen before, or try planning a holiday party.
