Anyone else get depressed after Christmas is over?

[F1980]

Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. When it ends, I get a bit of depression. I'm naturally just happier starting Thanksgiving through Christmas. But the day after, I'm feeling bummed out.

Only in Jan when I have to go back to work

 

[Contempt]

Hell no, I still have another week off. I'm definitely looking forward to it as it's the most time I've had off all year.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Fuck no. I just spent the last four days shopping for gifts, getting shit ready, hosting family, and dealing with in-laws and kids.

Of course, life could be worse and I'm not complaining, but if anyone thinks about waking me up early tomorrow, I'm tossing them out of the fucking house.

Hell no! I’ve been drinking and doing drugs and will keep doing them until at least January 1st. Don’t be a puss puss.

 

[HHJ]

I dont care. I will say this has been the most underwhelming one I can ever remember. I didnt see decorations anywhere.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Nope, love when Christmas is over. It's the longest possible time between having to see the dreg member of the family again.

 

[TeTe]

Not really. Usually everything is crazy around the holidays and post new Year's is normalcy.

Not to mention we only are only given Christmas Day and new Year's Day off at my company because this is our busiest time of the year.

Granted it's the busiest for our operations and client experience teams but they don't selectively give more time off to some departments over others.

Christmas is for children is just one of many consumer holidays.
Also I am off to like 13 Jan so all is good.

Damn tell us how you really feel.

Looking forward to easier parking, less traffic.

Ya, in a way. It's a great holiday and great break to look forward to. Once it's over it's kind of like a big stretch of nothing until summer. I think I probably get more depressed after New Years though. I still have off work until Monday so it's gonna be a great 4 days, but i hear what you are saying. It's like 2 months of buildup to Christmas and then it's done so quickly.

 

[Brofessor]

Fuck no. I am relieved when it's over. Spending money, brainstorming gifts, shopping for gifts, wrapping gifts (nightmare if you have a big family), hosting, dealing with crazy family members, and all that. I look forward to the holiday festivities, but the prep is cumbersome/stressful and it's a relief when it's over.

 

[Poison Breed]

Nope.

 

[Jesus X]

I actually enjoy the festivities in NYE a lot more than Christmas.

 

[Jesus X]

I'm tossing them out of the fucking house

 

[13Seconds]

No im not a kid

 

[ricains_cretins]

First 2 weeks of january are usually pretty rough.

 

[Plutoburn]

What you're describing feels like a more intense version of Monday blues, like a post xmas blues.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

No it's just a money making scheme phase.
