Ah, the post-holiday blues. I liken post-holiday blues to post-wedding depression, mild cases of postpartum depression, and so on. We get so excited for a big event, big day, big week, big trip, etc… that when it’s over, we often feel like a deflated balloon.

Thanks for bringing that up, since it happens to a lot of us!

My problem is that I like stirring that pot too much sometimes, especially when it comes to cranberries! =)

You’re absolutely right though – changing the subject (nicely) when things can get heated is always a good idea.

Luckily it seems like December is too busy for me to notice the blues until January. Maybe Ill follow a few now to alleviate it then

excellent tips! Any suggestions on how to firmly, but politely, change the subject when something comes up that you *know* is going to stir up trouble?

Like Politics, or your sister’s living situation, or jelled cranberry sauce vs the one with chunks…something like that:p
