The day after Christmas through the start of Spring is, by far, the worst stretch of the year. The Christmas season is over, and, not to be dramatic, but there is just nothing to look forward to now. Suddenly, your new gifts don't seem that exciting anymore and the reality of the next couple of months sets in. Is it March yet?

When it's December 26th and you realize Christmas is over:

When you realize there are two more months of winter after Christmas:

When there's no more Christmas music on the radio:

When it's snowed for five straight days with no sign of stopping:

When you self diagnose yourself with seasonal affective disorder:

When it's bone chillingly cold every time you walk outside:

When you dream of spring break:

When you see the final mound of snow melt away completely:

Only about 60 days until Spring!!
