What is it about December that makes people feel so bad?

I've always loved December, there was always that feeling of "Sweet! Winter break is here! I'm gonna eat, and play video games, and watch Elf, and do whatever the hell I want "

I find it kinda funny, around the holidays the sun's in Capricorn and Capricorn's supposed to be pessimistic lol, is that it? (not a big astrology fan myself)

A lot of people have seasonal depression in the winter for whatever reason. It's very common and very real I have it myself.
Think about it, during the summer we are always out and about and everything is always going so well and (where I live at least ) it's so nice and warm and green and alive and it's easier to be happy yanno?

I think I used to have seasonal depression too but it'd show up mostly in summer. So weird lol.
 

Back when I was in college I'd get that way, December is the one that triggers me these days.  I do like winter, though. I'm a massive fan of oversized jumpers and hot chocolate, just wish it wasn't rough emotionally, haha.
