Every year about this time, I realize that the holiday season is upon us. What brings upon this realization? The changing of the seasons, the leaves start to change colors, getting ready to rake the leaves, taking out my fall and winter clothing, and less daylight.

For many, this transition brings a shift in mood known as "Holiday Blues." It is important to distinguish between temporary stress and seasonal depression, and to find small, daily activities that bring light into your routine.
