Humbug Day
On December 21st, Humbug Day honors Ebenezers, the Scrooges, grinches, and curmudgeons who suck the joy out of the holiday season.
And the most joyful of us all get bitten by the hum-bug at times. Nonetheless, it's vital to remember all those who suffer from it the most. They are spreading some joy and instilling the holiday spirit in their lives.. However, the day was planned to show our dissatisfactions, to bring the Scrooge inside, to let him out, and let him reveal himself. Whether we announce it through a humbug or two or simply avoid the people-y places, the day gives us a break from the hustle and bustle of summer life.
For several reasons, it's a difficult time of year. Any one of us may be lonely, and others may feel compelled to do more than is humanly possible. We can certainly raise our hopes. We may also set our own aspirations high. The holiday season's stresses pile up, leaving us feeling a bit like Scrooge.
