Maybe it's all the preparation you put into it..Maybe it's saying goodbye to those family members you only get to see during the holidays, or eek, maybe it's the credit card bills coming in...But alot of people seem to report feeling a bit blue after the holidays.. How about you?

Maybe it's all the sugar we eat, then we just spend the days after coming down from the sugar high :)

lol crystalc..that is a very interesting answer and I bet there is something to that...It also made me think of another reason..the extra weight that seems to slip on after all the holiday eating!!

Yup, every year it starts at thanksgiving and ends after the new year. I always have like 5 excess pound to work off.

I'm depressed coz it's back to studying tomorrow...and getting up early in the mornings...and EXAMS... I hate the idea of going back after so long. I don't really like Xmas that much, so it's not the fact that it's over, it's the fact that Xmas break is...

Actually, I'm glad that the Holidays are over. After all of the preparation and festivities, eating wrong, and lack of sleep, it's good to get back to a routine with a New Start and a New Year! Now it's time to get ready for the summertime!

Oh my. It's the closeness shared with others I miss.

jumpinjack this is probably my number one reason why too!! A few of my silings live out of state and I am always missing them. Funny how when we were teens we could wait to break free from each others shadow..Now I am sad that we can only all get together occasionally!
