Ah, the holiday season. A time to reconnect with friends and family. To share the love, the cheer, the expensive gifts. But in these troubled economic times, you may find it difficult to muster a festive spirit. Perhaps you are anxious. Perhaps you are acting out. Unkind to your employees. Unloving to your family. You've become a scourge. A scrooge. How can you tell if you've joined the ranks of the Christmas crushers?
