Christmas mood or Laziness?

Normally, every Christmas I am in the mood for holidays and often I find myself difficult getting to work for the month of December. This December is no different and especially I have not been working for the past 3-4 months. What the heck, since I have not been working for so long, I might as well not work for this December too, make it 5 months without working. I always have this song in my mind every time I feel lazy to work, its by B-52 called "Dead Beat Club". The song says "Get A Job! Huh? What for?". I love that song! I also recall very often, I would take one whole month leave for December just to hibernate or rot at home.

Am I lazy? I don't think so because I know when I work, I really work extremely hard. I always explain to my wife that I am a "Project person", I work extremely hard and efficient; and often successful when it comes to getting a project done. But because I hate daily routine tasks or jobs, I often procastinate and that makes me look lazy.

So, Decemeber is the month of holiday mood, but is it due to Christmas? Well, I would say partly, but mostly its because its the end of the year and people tend to wind down and relax during these times of the year. Christmas is just another good excuse for people to justify their laziness during December. So shopping for Christmas gift becomes a great excuse to occupy ourselevs with something not related to work and to break away from work. (without feeling guilty) It is also an often used excuse by drinkers for having big drinking sessions. And why not, the spirit of Christmas is suppose to be happy and to be giving!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! HoHoHo!
