Ahhh...the holidays. Is there anything more enjoyable and satisfying about the holiday season than porking out on a bunch of turkey, stuffing, and pie? I think not. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to a good friend of mine: Tryptophan.
I am sure that the vast majority of you are aware of this friend even if you have never been formally 
introduced. You see, tryptophan is an amino acid found in turkey that is responsible for a rise in the level of serotonin, the chemical that causes relaxation and sleep. In the past few years there has been some debate about how much tryptophan you actually have to consume to create a noticeable change, but the fact remains that if I pig out on the bird, I get drowsy! After downing ten to fifteen pounds of heavy greasy food, I can sleep for hours...
In my mind, nothing says thanksgiving like a good old-fashioned tryptophan induced coma. Of course, family and friends are an awesome byproduct of the season as well. :)
Lets talk about the negative side of the holidays though. Unfortunately, humans seem to be affected by 
tryptophan in more ways than one. As Thanksgiving rolls around, we begin to see some preemptive lethargy settling over the rental market! Of course, the obvious reason for this is that not many people want to go through the ordeal of moving during the holiday season. Honestly, I can't blame them!
Lets face it, the only heavy box I want to lift during the holidays is the box containing a large frozen bird! Other than that, I would say forget it. Traditionally, the months of November and December are very sluggish for those of us who labor in the rental market. I can only assume that the real estate sales market suffers from the same type of problem. Anyone out there who can answer that please feel free!
