Anyone get the Post Holiday Blues? I really look forward to the forth quarter each year but after 1/1 I'm like depressed until the next Holiday season.
Comments
Nope. I like the holidays but since I work in retail management, plenty to do the rest of the year. I am more depressed about another year older, LOL.
i got the purples
The age issue really doesnt bother me at all. I tend to laugh it off. I have a birthday in two weeks and it is like oh well.
Actually this is and has been a great holiday season. But there is always stuff going on like my ex getting pnuemonia and having a hospital syay but good. No one died this year at this time and yesterday was the anniversary of my nephew getting diagnosed with cancer but he is a survivor and doing well.
The only age issue is that I would like to change my birthday. My mom died the day before mine so I still think about that and get down for that reason.
These days there always seems to be something. After the holidays I just have to find new motivation and projects. Daz helps a lot but latelyI seem to be collecting more than using lol.
We're supposed to use the stuff we collect? How novel. :coolgrin:

I don't dwell on the bad things that happen in my life or place them in my mind along with holidays. I am a realist, people pass and things happen, better for me to focus on the present and do what I can to eliminate any drama in my life.
I helped with a charity event this year for needy families, vets and their families,,,,was a great experience for me.
We are? You mean actually create art with them? Silly me. And here I just thought I was contributing to the economy and filling up my hard drive.
heck i have things i bought for art i wanted to do back when i was using Poser 3, still haven't got around to doing the images i had planned
Post holiday blues? Nope. It's actually a relief from the depression of over commercialized madness, egocentric ubergifting, and theocentric wallowing that occurs during the holidays. It is a return to the ironic normalcy of modern life.
actually, for me there are no Holidays in December, so I can't possibly have post Holiday blues.
I avoid much of the holiday commercialization by spending time with family and friends and mostly staying away from the stores as the holiday approaches (especially shopping malls at Christmas time). I alternate the holidays I spend with people and don't spend all holidays with the same people. If you love me, you have to learn to timeshare with others, LOL!
Sometimes I will even spend a holiday in an "undisclosed location" all by myself. I did this just yesterday, for sanity and decompression. Pre-Christmas was hell on wheels for my schedule, but I loved it. And the "actual day" was really a much-deserved day off, which I used to watch tutorials. It was a gift from me to me!
Lol I am glad I am not the only one who collects and doesnt always do.
Christmas hasnt been very commercial for me. I dont have a Tv and have been sick so I did cards and money this year on Christmas day.
heyyyyyy, where is my card with money???????
heyyyyyy, where is my card with money???????
Wait a minute ...didn't you just say you don't have holidays in December?????I'm very confused ......
No blues for me ,just relief that the commercial push is over for the moment ,but I enjoyed my familytime immensely!!

ok so hold the card, just send money :D
LOL I'm afraid still at the bank. I was "reminded" yesterday that I have a limit as to how much cash I can withdraw each day and I hit it so yesterday didn't exactly go according to plan but still it was ok.
I do not have the Blues, I have the REDS as in my banking is in the red, my tolerance of my family is now in the red. And if I miss one more good TV show for a REALITY TV Holiday Special I'll be seeing red.
