I'm not quite a Scrooge but I really don't enjoy the holiday season very much. Too many people want to "visit". I like to sit at home and stare at the computer most of the time, which is not the best social skill.

And you can forget about getting any deals closed. Every December I think to myself, "this time it will be different" as I attempt to complete a deal or investment and the same thing happens each time - everyone is away, or busy, and "let's all get back in touch in January".
