The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing? (lemmy.world)

like, it's still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you're not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it's largely the same as last year. except you're getting older.

There are barely any sports on? Hockey is on nearly every single day. Football playoffs start in two weeks. College championship is next Monday. NBA is on if you're desperate. If you're not American get yourself a VPN and watch anyway!

Maybe swearing off the Gregorian calendar like I did.

To me it’s just an excuse to get drunk.

Well for some of us the opposite is true. My family is somewhat disconnected and festering their resentments toward each other, so the holidays being over for me is like being able to breathe again! Lights down everyone!!!!

This goes for any holiday.

Opposite for me. I’m so glad that bs is over.
