"...That has been my observation also, esp in December; every Christmas that we manage to squeak through without drawing blood on the list (and in private, but in response to list postings) I consider a minor miracle... :) In August, you have to add the "fed-up factor" to the heat -- the kids have been at home (not at school) for 2 months; relief is in sight, but, in the meantime, the pressure keeps building up... :) I get short-tempered in winter-time myself; I don't have SADD, but lack of *natural* light gets harder and harder to cope with as I get older, and St Valentine's Day is meaningless to me as a "break", since it's not something I grew up with..."
Intersting remark, Tamara. Does that mean that us antipodes dwellers get mad for the opposite reasons to you Northern parts dwellers?Anyone wants to keep stats??? :-) Personally, I would have said that the February outburst comes from being finally free from Christmas, New Year and other festivals and their attending nerve-racking activities (like where are you going to have Xmas lunch with this year? parents, in-laws, ex in-laws, partner's ex in-laws, etc, etc, or are you going to be brave enough to stay home and make lace all afternoon?)and breaking up into a rash of bad temper when you see the first hot-cross buns and Easter eggs in the supermarkets! :-) http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
