Humbug

A lot of people get "down" this time of year.  Some are downright depressed, while others get a mild case of "the blues."  I am not one of those people.

I am always happy and looking forward to Christmas.  I love the lights and decorations, and I love shopping for the kids, even when times are rough and they don't get much.  It just so much fun to see the holiday spirit abounding in busy people.

This year is different.  I can't get into it.  The girls put up the tree yesterday, and I just offered help when asked.  I am trying not to be downright crabby, but I can't shake this feeling.  Sure, work is busy, but that's not new.  My "sick check" is going to buy tires, but I'm thankful for the money being there for the needed treads.

I've already received a Christmas gift from a customer.  A really nice Christmas gift at that.  One that I can use to treat my parents to a Christmas gift.  What is wrong with me?

Yeah, I'll get over it.  I always do.  It is just bothering me really bad to feel like this, since it's quite unusual for me.  OK, I'm off to watch TV and get over my downer self.
