I'm so glad you've asked @Rose76. I was thinking of making a new "post-holiday" thread, but we can certainly add on to this one, instead.
This season, for me, was the worst holiday season of my life. I went into it feeling severely depressed and after not having been assertive about obtaining the proper medications. I hope I will never allow that to happen again. I have bipolar disorder and whoever my prescriber is needs to know that BD is an episodic illness. What works in July is most probably somewhat different than what works in November.
I'm relieved that the holidays are over, and that includes my birthday, which was the straw that darn near broke the camel's back in December.
As for decorations- I am pleased to say that I am still enjoying the long string of colorful lights (the little old-fashioned kind) I've hung around my living room. I won't take it down until I get the feeling to do so. And when I do take it down I may just replace it with pink lights for Valentine's day, a holiday I really enjoy 
At this time we're having a rough go of it with the weather here in California. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are getting their snow, of course, but those of us everywhere else are being hit with a "bomb cyclone" - or a bunch of them. Atmospheric rivers or something. No joke, folks. Yes, we desperately need the water and I think we're all grateful for that, but this is excessive. The flooding, power outages, evacuations. According to Gov Newsom this is the wettest January on record for California - and here it is, not even mid-month.
So there's my lengthy post-holiday catch-up. I'll ask the next person to see this thread...
How are you doing, post holiday season?
