Here's a great article on pre-Wintertyde or "Christmas blues." We find embracing both Christmas and Wintertyde as if your life depended on it works wonders. Force yourself to get out of the house and go to Christmas events, shopping, concerts, movies, anything seasonal and embrace it. The more you fill your life with the spirit of the holidays, the less room for predatory "winter blues" to get you.
Crank up the Christmas music 24/7, get a cat or pet to celebrate with and upon which to share the holiday gifts, watch a heartwarming film such as "Christmas in Connecticut," go to Christmas Eve church services, give a gift to the down and out and homeless. Even the small gesture multiplies love. Buy new ornaments for the tree, go ice-skating, bake Christmas cookies. Think "I can do this."
We have stocking up for the cat and stuff it with cat food, toys, and treats!

The Wintertyde chickadee
Recall that Christmas is a 12-day-long season, and Wintertyde starts January 7th. Stay busy with all the preparations! "You can do this."
