Christmas is over and this makes me a tad bit sad.I love the lights,music and movies.People seem to be in good spirits and very generous.All that is over and now we have to contend with a drab winter.

Does anyone else experience this ?

Re: ANYONE ELSE A LITTLE DOWN ?

Yes, I always have the withdrawals  after Christmas even though I'm keeping my decorations up a little longer.  

It happens every year, just takes a few days to adjust to. I miss listening to the Christmas music on the radio.

@Luvsmyfam, it makes me sad too. I'm ok until New Year's Day but that day it seems the world goes dark and depressing. That is my least favorite holiday. But I don't like to wish time away so I try to find things to make the days brighter. It's definitely not easy though but you aren't alone!

I'm not down yet but when the tree comes down after New Year's Day I will be.

No, I'm glad it's over and gone.  All we've heard about for almost seven months is Christmas.  It's no celebration for many of us who are alone without family around.

 

Winter in my area is not drab; I love its bright sunny days of cool weather.   It's  the best time of year.

No, not sad at all.  On to the new year and what ever comes my way.

@Luvsmyfam 

 

I'm pretty happy year round regardless of any holiday. Christmas is a favorite though and will watch a holiday movie, listen to Christmas songs any time of the year. 

 

As for kindness it's always good to extend it first. Not always reciprocated but when it happens it's a bonus.
