And Depression Sets In

I know that many people are rejoicing the end of the holidays - no more hustle and bustle, no more parties, no more gift wrapping....but I am depressed. I dread the end of the holiday season. It is my favorite time of the year. I feel that Christmas spirit, sing carols in the car everywhere I go, put lots of time and effort into each gift I buy, and pray for snow. I love the anticipation as the clock ticks closer to Christmas Eve and we watch a different Christmas movie every night. I love getting pictures of my friends kids in the mail attached to Christmas cards and Christmas letters. I never want it to end. I want to be in a perpetual winter wonderland.

The magic of Christmas morning

So for all of you happy that the Holiday Season is over, congratulations. For me, I'm in a slump, a fit of depression that sets in every year on December 26th and takes me a few weeks to get over.

Humph.....
