How to handle post Christmas blues.
The Christmas season is filled with activity. The days and weeks following Christmas can be depressing. The pace of life slows down, for some, winter gray becomes not only the color of the sky but the color of their mood, and for some a sense of loneliness settles in once the holiday festivities are over. There are ways to avoid post Christmas blues, beginning with a plan of prevention.
The Christmas season is filled with activity. The days and weeks following Christmas can be depressing. The pace of life slows down, for some, winter gray becomes not only the color of the sky but the color of their mood, and for some a sense of loneliness settles in once the holiday festivities are over. There are ways to avoid post Christmas blues, beginning with a plan of prevention.
-
When the holiday season comes to an end so do the parties and family gatherings. The absence of a full social calendar can cause one to feel lonely. Prior to Christmas or shortly thereafter, make plans to spend an evening out with friends once a week throughout the year. Look for winter activities that you can attend that will provide you with an opportunity to mingle and meet new friends.
-
During the Christmas season family members often travel to a certain location in order to celebrate the season with family that they seldom have the opportunity to visit with. Once everyone returns to their home, a sense of sadness may occur among siblings, parents, and children who would like to maintain a closer connection with each other. While everyone is together for Christmas, devise a plan for remaining more connected through phone calls, e-mails, photos, or snail mail. If at all possible, arrange a summer reunion.
-
All of those holiday decorations will have to be taken down. Somehow that isn’t as enjoyable as the process of decorating. Usually, some rearranging must be done in order to make room for the Christmas tree and other holiday decorations. When taking them down, praise yourself for storing them in an organized manner. Before putting your house back in the order it was prior to Christmas, consider rearranging your furniture and changing your decor items to start the new year with a different look.
-
Even though you might not want to admit it, you may feel disappointed if you do not receive a gift you really wanted. Lots of things go on sale after Christmas. If possible, buy yourself the gift you wanted. If the item is no longer available or if it is too expensive for you to purchase, buy yourself a different gift. It’s better to do something nice for yourself than to harbor anger or sadness over a gift you didn’t get.
-
Winter doesn’t mean you have to confine yourself totally to the indoors. Try taking a walk each day. Exercise indoors if the weather is too bad to be outside. Open your blinds or curtains to allow as much light inside as possible. Put some colorful plants in your home. Keep a positive frame of mind and look for the beauty in winter.

Victorian Sponge Cake
About a month ago, Chef’s grandmother celebrated her [21st] birthday; I promised her I’d bring her a cake when I see her because we couldn’t be there to celebrate. Keeping my promise, I made a tasty Victorian Sponge Cake for her and Chef’s grandfather on Christmas Day.
10 Ways to Make Someone Else’s Day
Our lives could be happier and more fulfilled if we were more charming and paid a little more attention to the needs of other people around us. Here are some ways in which we could help.
- If you know that a friend is due home after a long time away, leave milk, bread, juice, some cakes and a paper or magazine at his/her home.
- Write a thank you note to your child’s teacher for no apparent reason. It will make her/his day, and it would also reap benefits for your child.
- On the spur of the moment, throw your neighbours’ papers unto their porch no matter if you think they deserve it or not. You could also wheel in their bin after the bin men have been if you know they’ll be at work all day.
- Buy a ticket to a movie and send it to someone who’s been working very hard lately.
- Send a funny card to your partner’s office and write a loving message inside. It will put a smile on their faces and remind them that you still love them, and that you still enjoy fun in your relationship just as you did in the beginning. You could also include a picture of you two taken on your honeymoon or first holiday.
- If a friend/colleague/partner has had a hard day, offer to role-play the events which led up to the bad day with a funny twist. This will go a long way to help them get over it.
- Leave an extra tip for the person behind the coffee/flower/petrol/food store/restaurant/ counter where you visit today, and compliment them on a good job. I’m sure that yours would be the only one they receive that day. Not only would it make their day, it would put a smile on their faces and help them to see that that they’re appreciated after all.
- Instead of selling off unwanted presents on e-bay, fill up a box of stuff that you and/or your kids don’t want, take it into work/college/school/church and invite colleagues to help themselves. Getting something for free always cheer people up.
- Once in a while, get a hot drink for the beggar/homeless/busker you pass in the street on your way to work in the mornings. Ask him his name and on your pay day, get him a sandwich as well. It will cost you next to nothing but to him, it would mean the world. If he has a dog, leave it a treat as well.
- If you’re visiting someone who has a child, offer to read the child a story or do a puzzle together, this means a lot to a parent. If you have a friend who’s a single parent, offer to have the child, or one of the children over to your place for dinner and games. This gives the parent a welcome break, and means more than you could imagine.
