Christmas Card

Doodle

We all know that for some of us, easily depressed souls, Christmas can be a difficult time of the year.

    I reflected on this before: see my slightly over-the-top 2010 Christmas rant. I will never offend anyone in that way again!

    But whatever our personal feelings, here is the 2012 Christmas card for all StayOnTop followers. Better too soon than too late.

Christmas 2012

For those of us who always feel a little lonely this time of the year, remember you’re not alone. Here is a voice for you.

• footnote: Card based on a 1922 original by illustrator Norman Rockwell. It needed little modification.
    And today’s Doodle (at the top of this post) was of course inspired by the famous Christmas painting The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Today In History:

Arthur Conan DoyleMay 22, 1859 –
Birth date of Arthur Conan Doyle, the Scottish physician and writer who in his popular stories (from 1887 to 1927) created the best known detective ever: the sharply observing and deducing Sherlock Holmes.
   Doyle profiled Sherlock Holmes as an obvious bipolar character, with both manic-active and depressed-lethargic episodes. In the stories, Holmes keeps trying to overcome his periodic depressions by playing the violin (sometimes), smoking (frequently) and using cocaine (as a real addict).
   Portrayed in this way, Doyle's Sherlock Holmes probably was the first popular fiction character suffering from frequent depressions.
