Dark, cold, and fraught with financial insecurity. It must be December.

Christmas shopping with a very limited budget; feeling guilty because you haven't really spent enough on folk, even though you've spent more than you can afford. December.

The interminable months of January, February and March lumbering behind the plastic cheer of Christmas, bringing with them penury, self loathing, darkness and bitter cold. Dee-cember.

Wake me up in April.

Woo, and I thought I was cranky.

If I offer you a Christmas cookie through the web, I would.

But hey--winter brings new Doctor Who, am I right? Right?

<sigh>

Well I'm not cranky all the time-- just today. I do like the actual Christmas part of Christmas (not least because it brings a festive bumper episode of Who) but I find the run up to it a vulgar and depressing rat race.

But your virtual cookie is gratefully received!

I am the only fan of Primeval.

And they'll never bring it to the states. *sniffle*

At any rate - yes. Christmas brings out the very worst in people. I work in a hospital and I cannot begin to tell you how the patients suffering with depression have TRIPLED since last month.

At any rate you two - good to see the positive vibe! Merry Christmas (early) to both of yous! :)

Sorry you're feeling down. :cling:

Hope you read this post in my dAjournal:
[link] and give a few of those things a try.

Orrrr... you could try the other tack, and dress up as Scrooge! Put on a black/grey top hat, overcoat, and Edwardian ruffles, and maybe a big fake beak nose and wire glasses for effect. Then you can go around and harrumph, grumble, and threaten to thwack little children with your cane. Maybe you can sing Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero" or "The Night Santa Went Crazy."

I'd draw the line at tossing cold water on grandmothers' front steps so it ices overnight, though.

...though I hope you'll give some of my post's earlier suggestions a whirl first.

And at least set your alarm for February... there's always the Super Bowl. :#1:

Thinking of you. *patpat* Seriously.

Wish there was something to say but its just that time of year. I love winter personally (more than summer) but its all up to the person I guess. Just wish there was something to help you along, man.
