Just think how miserable it must have been (or still is!) for those without
proper houses and heating! Or in the trenches in WW1?

It's very hard to stay motivated, and I wish we could just hibernate.

I heard one opinion that this is why the early Christians stuck Xmas near
the winter solstice, to take advantage of an alleviation of the winter blues

I do sympathise Barb. I emigrated from England to the States ten years
ago, and live in Arizona. It is 70 degrees most days in december.
Brrrr!!!!

While I sympathise, I must ask it...did you expect any other advice on
