I get a bit sad when Christmas is over, since it's one of my favorite times of the year, it seems to come and go so fast! However, I like when a new year starts because it feels like a fresh start. This year was particularly hard for me, so I'm a little happy it's over although I wish time would slow down.
How do you feel when the Holidays are over and we start a new year?

I'm sad only b/c I loved having time off! I have to wait till next Thanksgiving for anything more than a 3 day weekend! (of course not counting taking vacation).

I don't like that Christmas is over so fast. I think it should drag for a week 
I like the new year. I think winter in general is REALLY HARD. I love getting out and walking everywhere and that is just tough here in the winter. By February everyone is going nuts.

I feel great. Like, whew I survived. My husband works all through Christmas so I'm glad he is finally home again at regular hours. I'm on break throughout most of January so I just like having the peace after the storm.

Relieved! I love the holidays and look forward to them (and decorate way too early 
), but I'm always relieved when they're over and life can go back to normal.

@Adira: haha yes!
But mostly I feel relieved, and look forward to the fresh start of the new year and getting back to routine, healthy habits, etc. I do feel a little wistful at the passing of another year on Dec 31, though, especially since time passes so much faster now that we have a kid!

Relieved. I'm a total Scrooge and kind of detest the holidays.

Exhausted. We host every year and host everything. Including cooking and buy 85% of everything. It gets tiring.

SO relieved! The travel, the mess of boxes and wrapping paper and STUFF everywhere, people getting sick, sleeping in strange beds and hotels. I'm just SO happy to be back home and DS is too!

Relieved, really. I love Christmas, but I'm usually pretty over the mess and upheaval by the end of December.

I'm ok today and looking forward to a new year, but I was super sad the day after Christmas! I had so much fun getting things organized for the holidays and I feel like it went so fast and LO is also growing up so fast.

A bit sad. I love the holiday season (mid-October through Christmas). I used to cry myself to sleep Christmas night because I was so sad it was over and would take another year to come

I always look forward to the new year (new calendar/planner) I feel refreshed and ready to go. I dread winter weather and wish I could just fast forward to the end of march. This year I can't wait to put away the decorations and clean my house.

Sad. I seriously think I get depressed when it's time to take all of the decorations down. The only thing helping get me through the end of this season is a lengthy leave from work I have coming up.

Tired. Also relieved! My whole family was here and we managed to get through without any drama!
I'm ready to get back into a normal routine again. Baby is due in March, so for once I'm anxious to get past the holiday stuff!

This year I was done with the holiday rush and ready to get back to routine. Some years I get more sad, it varies.

Combo of relief and anxiety about the cold months to come. Jan/Feb are always hard on me.

I'm normally exhausted, but this year I've been pretty sad. We put away the decorations and now everything looks so bare, plus January and February are just rough months without much to look forward to.

I love the holidays so it's always s but sad when over, but I quickly move on to getting excited about other plans- my birthday and Valentine's are in February so that helps!
