Do you ever get the winter blues, a condition known as SAD?
If you get seasonally depressed, missing the brightness of the sunlight, how do you deal with the blues that come with SAD?
Does having SAD have a great effect on your daily activities? Or, do you just get the mild blues, from the darker days of Winter time?
Do the bleak winter months drop you into a depression? Maybe you have seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD.

I used to get depressed around Christmas time since the television stations would play Christmas music and television shows. Thanks to the streaming services, I have more options of seeing shows that I like.

I hate the cold and the shorter days; but I don't get depressed. Have a good day.

I don't get the blues in winter, I love the dark
I don't keep a lot of lights on in the cabin so
the winter blues never hits my doorway.

My husband kind of does and it can be hard to get him to want to do anything. I just have to ride it out and encourage him. This year has been especially hard because he's recovering from a stroke.
