I Dislike December

This has got to be the one month I dislike more than any other. January might be a close second but only because it is so boring, yet nice and routine.

December is when the weather turns very cold. It's full of family pressures and expectations surrounding the holidays that are not at all relaxing. The days are at their shortest and it seems dark all the time, and this affects, at least, my mood in negative ways. Blech! I'm expected to buy people things and run my bank account down which is annoying because I'm not a Christian but the rest of the family are. Whatever. TV isn't any good because of the holidays. And work is at its most stressful.

I think bears --- the animal not the fat, hairy, gay men --- have got it right. Hibernate! Wake me up in the Spring!
