About Humbug Day
While Christmas is a time of joy and happiness for most of us, it's not without its frustrations. Whether it is trying to find the perfect gift while fighting through crowded Christmas shopping or finding that the market has sold out of turkey, or even losing your temper trying to find the blown bulb on the Christmas tree lights, we can all do with a day to say 'bah, humbug!', just like Ebeneezer Scrooge in the Christmas Carol.
So use today to vent all those little frustrations we all face and look forward to the coming days with renewed optimism!
