Holiday Spirit

As the Christmas season kicks into full gear, I am trying to get in the holiday spirit, but it's hard.  Bad news keeps bringing me down.  My manager lost his job today.  ("Merry Christmas!  You're fired!") Some crazy dude pushed a guy onto the subway tracks (right down the street from my office) and killed the guy.  The fiscal cliff is looming.  What a depress-fest.  All of the aforementioned buzzkills were out of my control, but that doesn't make me feel any better.  The country as a whole needs a pep talk.  Where's Zig Ziglar when you need him?  Oh, he died last week.
