I don't know what it is about the holidays but I always seem to get all "blah" this time of year. I think it has something to do with the fact that while the holidays mean "family" for most people, for mine it's just anticlimactic. This year I fell into a really bad depressed mood for a few days and I fear I ended up hurting people around me when I never meant to. I don't like how I acted but it's weird because now that the holidays are over it's like a switch was flipped and I feel fine again. I don't know what it is, though I do know it seems to be a common thing among Americans (at least that's what I've read). I'm determined not to let this happen again though, I don't like it and nobody else does. Self-pity (especially when it's really not rooted in anything realistic) is completely pointless and I'm definitely going to learn from this mistake. Happy holidays everyone. May the new year bring much joy to all your lives. :)
