Around New year is such a meh time

New years eve often feels a bit weird, then New years day felt odd today and I just feel quite down, out of nowhere.

Anyone the same?

Yes it's all a bit meh.

I'm in my 60s, and when I was a kid/ teen, the weather between Christmas Day and the return to work/ school was crisp and cold. It encouraged walks and fun. It still felt festive. Now it's mild and damp and miserable.

New Years Day was always a social event- a family meal or a meet up with friends. Nowadays everyone is just so tired (me included).

Not sure what the answer is though.

Yup I feel this, feel so meh and unenthusiastic about everything!

I think it's the build up to Christmas etc is so long and then it's suddenly over! Bad weather doesn't help. I try and focus on enjoying the quiet of Jan. Is there anything nice you could focus on - reading new books, watching new films, lazier days etc?
