These last 4 years have been Bah Humbug for me...
2012 I lost my job on Christmas Eve.
2013 I was stuck in the hospital from the 19th to the 23rd so there went all present shopping/cookie baking/tree getting time.
2014 was ok, but after 2 years of crap all our traditions were pretty messed up, so it was small.
And now this year. The oven has all but died, so there's no cookies or other baked goods. Saving to replace oven has wrecked present budget. And the weather being in the 60-70's has just thrown us all off, making it just not feel like the holidays.
Still had a decent Christmas all things considered, but the energy/spirit isn't there like past years. I personally blame adulthood...
