Merry Christmas folks! Being in tech wouldn't be the same without each and every one of you, whether we agree or not ^_^ I learn a ton from y'all and I'm looking forward to the new year.

I know that the holidays can be a rough time for some people, so I want to send out some love to those who are struggling right now. Hang in there for all of us

Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard of such a phenomenon. What aspect of the holidays is rough for some? edit: This is a legitimate question, in case it wasn't obvious. edit 2: Got it, no questions allowed. Apologies.

If you're depressed or something very bad's happened in your life, the contrast of it being a time of celebration and seeing everyone else happy can be especially painful. Kind of like being forced to go to a jubilant party where everyone's singing and dancing the day after your best friend died, for example.
