Post Holiday Syndrome Much effort has been put into extending ex-tending the pre-Christmas spirit, but little has been done to extend this spirit in the other direction. The result re-sult is often the post-Christmas blues. Relatives visit and leave, decorations decora-tions must be put away and children have to go back to school. It's tough to get back in the swing of things without feeling some letdown, let-down, says Dr. Shelley Lindauer, early childhood specialist in the Utah State University College of Family Life. We need to work as hard at prolonging pro-longing the warm, festive feeling after Christmas as we do before Christmas, Lindauer says. "The weeks immediately after Christmas are a good time to teach children to continue the spirit of giving. Since most children receive so many new things for Christmas, this is a good time to clean out toy boxes and closets," she says. "Toys that have lost favor can be donated to churches or charities to become welcome gifts for less fortunate for-tunate children." Lindauer says you can also teach children about appreciation by having hav-ing them write thank you notes.

For adults facing the blues, Dr. Glen Jenson, USU Extension family and human development specialist, suggests these basic stress reduction techniques: Get back to the simple pleasures plea-sures of life. Take a walk, visit a friend or watch a sunset. Revive some old interests or hobbies that may have been pushed aside during the holiday rush. Make an effort to get adequate rest and physical activity to overcome over-come the sluggishness that goes with too much eating and celebrating. celebrat-ing. Make a concerted effort to be pleasant around others. A few dress rehearsals at home may be needed to get you into a pleasant mood. Being pleasant around others generally gener-ally makes you feet pleasant about yourself. Set goals and plan activities that give you something to look forward for-ward to beyond Jan. 1. Both Lindauer and Jenson say at least some minor post-Christmas blues are to be expected. Don't panic. pan-ic. Be good to yourself and others and focus on the good memories rather than the letdown.
