HOLIDAY SPIRIT OR SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER?

Six Ways To Spot The Difference

Christmas Trees

Holiday Spirit: Buying a real tree and decorating it with family & friends as cheerful Christmas music plays in the background.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: When you start to identify with the Christmas tree because neither of you grew to your full potential and now you’re both balding rapidly.

Snow

Holiday Spirit: When you have the urge to lay on the ground to make a snow angel.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: When you have the urge to lay on the ground, because you just CAN’T with today.

Gifts

Holiday Spirit: Planning really meaningful gifts for those closest to you, and then finding joy in wrapping each by hand.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: Planning your apologies for giving DIY gifts, like tiny vials of your own tears or cries for help displayed in hand-painted frames.

Christmas Cards

Holiday Spirit: Hanging cards from loved ones near & far to remind us of the true meaning of the holidays.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: Hanging post-its reminding yourself to eat.

Seasonal Romance

Holiday Spirit: When you’re frisky after some wine, so you and your boo cozy up by the fire.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: When you’re feeling hollow after an insane year of disappointment so you sit by the fire in an attempt to recreate the warmth of human touch.

Christmas Movies

Holiday Spirit: When you find yourself crying at the end of Miracle on 34th Street.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: When you’re crying on 34th Street.
