What is it about Christmas that gets everybody buzzing with energy?
There was a marked increase in joy levels at my work - people were joking, laughing and generally enjoying life. Compare attitudes, conversations and approaches to generally everything in life, and you could lay witness to something subtle but extraordinary.
It could be to do with the four-day break that fell upon us in 2008, or the lack of traffic on the roads and trains, or the gifts that we were about to exchange or simply some magical Christmas spirit that engulfs us at this time of the year.
With Christmas gone, and having entered the New Year, a depression, in stark contrast to the joy of Christmas, sets in as we prepare for the cold February winter. No public holiday until Easter, no excuses for parties or celebrations, time to work hard.
