Humbug Day

And the most jolly of us all get bitten by the hum-bug. Despite this, it's still 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 highlight our indignation, to bring the Scrooge inside of us out, and to let him reveal himself.. The day gives us a break from the hustle and bustle of summer life, whether we announce it through a humbug or two or simply avoid the people-y places.

For several reasons, it's a difficult time of year.' Some of us may be lonely, and others may feel compelled to do more than is humanly possible. We may also set our own hopes high. As a result, the holiday season's stresses pile up, leaving us feeling a little like Scrooge.
