Pluto TV brings 1-day "rage room" to Philadelphia

Driving the news: The streaming service is bringing a free, pop-up rage room to Rage Philly in Northeast Philly on Dec. 11 as part of its "Holidays Are Brutal" campaign.

• The 30-minute time slots for up to four guests are limited so hurry up and RSVP.

Zoom in: Tired of waiting in those excruciating lines to see Santa or thinking up new ways to outdo last year's Elf on a Shelf?

• Express it, don't suppress it by decking the halls, smashing ornaments and drop-kicking wrapping disasters.

Reality check: Mental-health experts say it's important to remember these stress-relieving activities will only bring you temporary catharsis.

The bottom line: Dr. Seuss said it best: Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas means a little bit more.

• Until then, rage on, Grinches!
