Anybody Else Feeling A Little Blue After Holidays?

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Feeling blue you say? Then DO something about it! Get up and change things - only YOU can do that!

Oops, sorry. I was having an identity crisis for a second there. Hang in there.

Sorry you are feeling blue!

Usually I am a little sad when the holidays are over, but this year I am very much looking forward to having a baby soon which is a lot more exciting than the holidays were. Also we bought a second car again finally, and tonight a friend of Sujeet's is visiting for the weekend, a buddy from India in the US on business for a couple months. He is staying in Houston but is flying out for the weekend. So a lot of exciting stuff going on. Now I am just wating around for a couple hours and cleaning to get ready for the guest, Sujeet is in Tampa still b/c the flight doesn't come in til 10pm. But it's the first person from Sujeet's life in India that I am meeting, so I am nervous but excited.

Just now read the check cashing thread...yeah I'd be blue too! Sorry about that situation.

I think I'm in the blue category.. my work situation sucks majorly and because of my work situation we didn't have any money at Christmas so we didn't' even exchange gifts.. not that that is the most important thing but it was just hard to see everyone getting into things and we couldn't even afford a tree.. It was just a non- event for us this year.. hard to accept as it was our first. but we have each other and many other blessings nad I"m trying to focus on that

I AM FINALLY COMING OUT OF THE BLUES, NOW THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. THIS WAS SUPPOSSED TO BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER CAUSE MY HUSBAND IS HERE, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE MORE OF A BUMMER THAN ANYTHING. HE DON'T CELEBRATE LIKE WE DO AND HE DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE MUCH. SO AMEN NOW THE HOLIDAYS ARE DONE!!!!

Is he Muslim and are you Christian? That might be a reason why he wasn't all hyped up for Christmas.

Sorry you're blue

For me, Christmas isn't over yet; it only began the 24th, and won't end till Sunday, when our church will have our annual Christmas/Epiphany dinner and talent show. We had a great time with the group from church in Yosemite and San Francisco; awesome sights, and we even got really close to a small herd of deer (pictures will follow)! I think making an intentional separation between the Advent pre-Christmas time and the 12 days of Christmas helps prevent the post-Christmas blues so many feel, partly due to the consumer-driven approach to Christmas.

YES HE IS MUSLIM. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO HANDLE THIS, I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE THINGS SPECIAL FOR HIM CAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT OUR FIRST HOLIDAYS TOGETHER AND IT JUST BACK FIRED ON ME

terrie,

I would advise against sharing further personal information. Things are not as supportive as they seem.

I like that idea. The festive vibes of Christmas end way too soon. I realize it's more to do with the commercial aspect of the holiday, but businesses certainly do a good job of drumming up people to think about the holiday and then they drop it almost immediately after.

Ummm what?

Actually Terrie, I was going to say that my husband is also mildly Muslim and my family goes all out with Christmas. I can relate with you. I just try not to have high expectations of him getting as excited as I do during Christmas.
