To put it bluntly, the holidays bum me out. I don't think it really has anything to do with the occasion -- y'know, all that stuff about how we instinctively reject the incessant pressure towards merriment and good will (aka Holly Jolly Complex) -- I think it's more physical. The extended darkness and the plummeting temperatures and the tons of hours spent in arid, indoor environments -- my body just can't cope. About this time of year, I seriously begin to wonder if hibernation isn't a viable option.
