Shaking the post-holiday blues

Can you feel it? The big let down after the holidays? There’s a name for that. It’s called the post holiday blues.

Since Thanksgiving we’ve been focused on the year-end holidays of Christmas and New Year celebrations. The holidays can be a joyful and relaxing time for many people. But once the festivities wind down, sadness and loneliness can creep in.

My first experience with this was in January 1990 after the birth of my daughter, Emily.
