Hang in there. I'll second the advice to find something else you love and do that for a while instead of programming. If you like reading (a lot), try Robert Jordan's A Wheel of Time. Learn a little about cooking. Learn a little about playing a musical instrument; the bass is good - you don't have to be good at all to have fun playing along with your favorite bands.

Otherwise learn something new and unrelated to your day job but still in the programming realm. Learn Erlang or JavaScript. Make sure it has a REPL - the Chrome console is a great REPL for JS. Have fun with it! Don't worry about making something of "value" just make something small that's only purpose is to make you smile.

Hang in there; you'll get through this season.
