Seasonal haiku

Every year in late November/early December I start feeling depressed. I am not very close to my family, and since I have spent the last five years working 80 hour weeks to get my career on track my social life is seriously lacking. I know I don't have a right to feel this way  because I have a good job, great apartment and no real worries but I can't help it. When I walk around the city and see all the happy people celebrating and shopping for gifts and getting into the spirit I just feel depressed. How can I fight off these holiday blues.
