Bah Humbug

I think the reduction in my income and the lack of interaction with co-workers has really gotten to me over the last few months.  October thru December is usually when I do some of my best work.  Whether I am planning an awesome Halloween Bash, coming up with a great gift for a November lady or decking the halls with laughter and presents for Christmas, the last 3 months of the year are usually when I excel.  This year has not been the case.  No Halloween Bash happened for a variety of reasons.  I have not accompanied my youngest on any of her field trips (I let the wife take over that duty).  Lack of funds led to me only giving out ecards for my November birthdays.  I took down the Christmas decorations for my wife and kids.  I chose not to decorate a tree and told the wife I would not be hanging lights this year.  I'm in a real nonchalant mood about the holidays.  My attitude has truly gone from Happy Holidays to Bah Humbug.
