How to use "Humbuggery" in context?
Christmas is a time to be festive, kind, and charitable. But what about the cruel and sour people who take the holiday to mean only one thing: giving and receiving Humbug gifts? Yep, we're talking about those people who go out of their way to inflict misery on others, simply for kicks.
Now, we're not suggesting that everyone go out and insult total strangers for fun. But if you do find yourself resorting to mean-spirited behavior on Christmas day, know that you're not alone. And maybe, just maybe, Humbuggery is not the best way to celebrate.
