Dark Holiday Mood
According to several articles like this one, Americans are in a dark holiday mood this year. Fellow Americans, what’s wrong with you? I don’t know about Americans in general, but I know my mood is pretty grim. Going to two funerals of two good friends within one month will do that to you. [...]
