Sad isn’t quite it, but I carry some negative emotions with it.

It's been a rough couple of years.

about 85/15

sad and happy are equally offsetting.

I'm here looking for the 'meh' option!

This time of year is the most tradition laden one IMO, and that sentiment gets worse every year.

absolutely no effect either way

Missing poll option: Neutral?

This time of year is, for me, mostly happy, a little sad. I get some time off of work to relax a little, visit with friends and family, eat, drink, and be merry. But it goes so fast and when I return to work in the new year, it's hectic for several months. I also think a lot about those in need and, in the words of the Kinks, "remember the kids who got nothin' while you're drinking' down your wine."
