Re: Christmas 2017

All my Christmas stuff, indoor and outdoor, has been taken down and packed away until next year.

Re: Christmas 2017

We haven't touched ours yet. Weather has not be cooperative and being down sick I haven't felt motivated to start taking down the indoor decor.

Re: Christmas 2017

Took our indoor stuff down last Saturday but as for the outdoor stuff, we just use one of those electronic light displays. There’s no way, with my dislike of heights, that I’m getting on our roof.

Post Christmas depression seems to be lasting longer than usual this year for some reason. Need a rewind button to go back a couple weeks, ugh.

Thats a real thing brave!!! You are going strong for the month of December getting things ready for the holidays, with shopping, seeing lights, preparing, ect... and then January comes and its a dead stop.

Yeah, it can be a huge letdown getting back to the grind. I think the key is to find something shortly after the holidays to look forward to, whether that be a short trip, a get-together with friends, or something (anything!).

But it's normal to some extent - you spend the entire winter/end-of-year crescendo-ing to this happy, family together season when everyone is in a better-than-average mood, the TV has all these merry/happy things on, it's the end of the year, most people are off work, you start relaxing, and then....boom. Dead stop to the happy happy fun time and right back to the f'n sweatshop. They really have to find a way to taper these things...

I find that looking forward to longer days and the return of nicer weather generally gets me through. But also, there's probably a reason I do a lot more Netflix and gaming in the Jan-March timeframe than any other time of the year....

Re: Christmas 2017

Post Christmas Blues SUCK. Some years...no problem, other years it is like breaking up with someone. That sick “punched in the gut feeling”. The months of build up and then it’s over. That’s why I try to stretch the season out to Epiphany. PCB’s can be hard to get over.

I recommend listening to some Christmas music or watching a Christmas movie. I like to PVR the burning log that has Christmas music and watch that for a bit. For me it helps. Go figure.

This season wasn’t too bad for PCB’s for me. I think it has to do with my daughter and the fact that she’s still singing Little Drummer Boy and that she wants to read Twas The Night Before Christmas before bed every night. Also, she makes me look forward to next Christmas because she will be a year older and even more excited. To add to that, I’m very excited to start golfing again, so thinking about that helps too.

YES! I need to get back to working on my golf game. I made some strides last year that I want to continue to improve upon.

LOL....I think I'm just in to not working and relaxing for an extended period of time, and it helps that the season is generally a festive one. Also, I hate working.

Yes sir. It’s such a great holiday with so much build up that, when it’s over...blahhhhhh. Plus, January and February are cold dark months, so that helps with causing the PCB’s.

Re: Christmas 2017

My post-Christmas blues are pretty much just me going "...I spent that much on people?"

Re: Christmas 2017

Really feeling these blues too. As I always do. Even though January is filled with fun stuff, I can't help but long for the excitement that comes with the final 3 months of the calendar.

Yup. I just had a $980 credit card bill. Lol.
