original; "I'll Be Heartbroken for the Holidays"

I remember reading somewhere that Christmas was the most likely time of year to experience depression. I always thought that was such bullshit. Who could be sad during Christmas time? All the lights and the trees and the friggin' cheer! Everyone's so happy and excited and nice! There's this magic that hangs in the air for a whole month, charging the city from the inside out. Who could be sad with all that to look forward to? Personally, I always loved it, and I scorned the Scrooges and blasted my Bing Crosby for everyone to hear. I was the girl who was buying everyone's gifts on Black Friday and making Santa cookies and watching all the Christmas movies they play on TV as soon as Thanksgiving is over. I was the girl who was wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah starting December 1st
