You hear the term "Blues" quite a bit this time of year.

But usually not in reference to the art form, but to a common human malady that is as old as the art form. People get depressed around the holidays for a variety of reasons. Why do you think the biggest parties occur in December? It's man's collective effort to keep up spirits for the long winter ahead. The Blues also came about to keep up spirits. So apply this age-old cure for your holiday blues.
