December's the worst. All I do is dread Christmas visits and family drama. A few years ago I had a terrible Christmas at my dad's and as we were leaving I decided I wasn't ever going back. That was going to be the last time they pulled that s**t. Now, because for most of my life Christmas was nearly ulcer inducing, I associate all the Christmas stuff with misery.

I still suspect Santa might be real, though.

February. What is this 28 days only crap? I feel like I am being cheated.

Runner-Up is March. It is continuous rain here and you don't see the Sun much at all, and you start longing for summer right about then.

Heh :). I was born on the second day of November. It's an ok month if you're not a student (no exams and stuff).

December is the cruelest. If you have a typical job you have to wake up in the dark, drive to work in the dark, sit in a hellishly stark fluorescent-light flooded cubicle all day until it's time to drive home in the dark. Then you have to go park your car in the dark to buy groceries in a store where they subject you to the blaring of obnoxious Christmas music. It's enough to drive anyone insane.

That's the one good thing about February. It's short.

March is nice if you live south of the 35th parallel. In the great white north though march is the season of death and mud. The snow is finally melting only to reveal all the disgusting trash on the side of the road that was buried all winter long. That and there's nothing green or living to be seen until at least April. It's just lovely!

But I love it when it gets dark at 4 PM.

December.

Felling alone during Christmas sucks. Working retail during December sucks; longer hours, have to listen Christmas music constantly, overly needy people, and glitter everywhere.
And it's cold outside too. And I often don't have much money for gift buying and I'm not good at gift buying in general so it's added stress.
