Some people get depressed during this post-Christmas time, owing I suppose to the general anomie inherent in the passing of the holiday and the overall suckiness of the whole New Years' Eve business. I've found ways to enjoy it over the years, however. It's serious down-time. Expectations are generally low. Nobody else really knows how to behave, much less work, so we're all in the same boat. Here's to the post-Christmas malaise! There will be plenty of time for stress and long-hours in the new year.
