Ten Healthy Reasons to Procrastinate This Holiday Season by Dale Reynolds

Many people procrastinate on their holiday shopping, which begs the question: are there good reasons to put it off? For a humorous break this season, let’s examine why we might actually want to wait until the last minute to shop!

You’ll have to park farther from the door because the mall will be so crowded, and you’ll get more exercise. Just park way out there-you’ll save frustration and get less door dings!

The escalators and elevators will be so crowded that you’ll have to take the stairs to save time (maybe you’ll be inspired to jog them?) and that burns more calories. The more packages you’re carrying, the more calories you’ll burn!

The food court and restaurants will be busy and you won’t want to bother waiting. You’ll pack healthy food or just eat at home. Carrying your lunch and a water bottle around the mall is work-say goodbye to more calories!

You might think about catalog shopping, but they’ll be sold out of everything you want and won’t be able to get it to you in time if they do have it in stock. So you’ll be at the mall, with all of the above.

You might get lower prices or two-for-one specials. This will make you jump for joy and dance in the halls, which constitutes aerobic exercise! Just be careful you don’t land on anybody when you come down.
