Why Blue Monday is just Smurf Appreciati­on Day!

-

It is the day when the financial pressure of Christmas past hangs over us most, the weather is at its worst and the extra pounds we’ve acquired over the holiday season are proving harder to shift than we anticipate­d.

Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, is January 18 this year.

OK, the idea originated in a press release from a travel company that was shopped around to academics.

But, in these tough times, we could all use some cheering up and something to put a smile on our faces as COVID-19 and lockdown continue to affect our lives.
