[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike the period from late October to New Years. There are just too many social and familial expectations and the days keep getting shorter. I always feel relieved when we finally get to January. [/quote]

And I hate hearing Chrismas music for two months straight everywhere and seeing commercials ordering me to spend money and on top of that be happy happy happy. [/quote]

Stop trying to make me be cheerful when it's dark outside at 4:30PM![/quote]

I respect your feelings but humans have been scheduling holidays involving lights, social gatherings, music, and celebration around the winter solstice basically since the beginning of time specifically because it's dark and miserable and cold and there is an instinct to counteract that. I personally do not like Christmas music so I don't need that, but all the other holiday stuff is fine with me even though I'm not religious because December would be so freaking depressing without all the holiday lights and office parties and days off work. I think it's necessary, frankly.[/quote]

NP. Winter doesn't even start until the end of December. There is NOTHING in January, February or March to look forward to. It's dark because of the time change and just miserable. There aren't holiday lights and the only holidays we get are MLK and Presidents Day.

What days off work do you get in December? There's only Christmas? [/quote]

Love Jan-March. It’s so nice and quiet outside. Trails aren’t crowded. Now lawn mowers and leaf blowers. And if it shows heavily, it’s even quieter. No traffic, just like a blanket over the world. Cat, book, fire. [/quote]
