The song “It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” rings a whole new meaning this month. Sarcasm implied.

I never was the cheerful type during Christmas. Yeah, I know it is a special day, but I never felt like celebrating it for some reason. Besides, being around extra perky and jolly people gives me the creeps.

As for my Christmas plans (or lack of it), maybe I'll just spend it doing some more  paper writing or running a marathon of non-holiday related DVDs. Sad, I know. However, it doesn't change my view regarding Christmas.

As my predecessor Christmas grouch puts it: bah, humbug.
