Winter Blues do you suffer ?

Genuinely, my favourite time of the year.

I am a night owl anyway, so the changing of the seasons and transition to the darker nights has no effect. There's something satisfying about being warm indoors with a hot mug of tea - whether at home or work - whilst it's freezing outside or rain is pattering against the window. I welcome winter far more than the summer heat we had this year, for example.

Give me an ice cold beer ,sat by my pond watching the dragon flies,with a BBQ and some guitar any day over a cuppa boxed in the house ! Watching crap on TV or staring at a computer screen
 
I like the cosy dark nights as well as the bright summer months. No particular issues with SAD here, though I do find cutting alcohol consumption and maintaining exercise, even if just light, helps enormously to fend off those winter blues.

I'm far more apprehensive about Christmas this year though. Normally I love it, except this time my awful nephews (wife's side) are coming round for the day and normally do their level best to destroy my house in ever more innovative ways.
 
Winter sucks
GMT just makes it worse.
I despise dark evenings. It's not the cold, it's the dark
 
I hate the winter months. Whilst I don't end up being put completely out of action, I do get pretty down since I work indoors in an environment where I can't see daylight. So when I leave for work, it's dark. I work pretty much in poor light and then when I leave, it's dark. :D To give us something to look forward to, we book a family holiday somewhere warm. :)

I used to have this. It truly sucks. At least I work in a. Big windowed office now.
When it gets cold and bright on weekends I go kayaking still to get some air.. But November is usually cold and damp and overcast. Its no fun then

If you do stuff outside after your working day it’s easier in the daylight ?

Unless I have miss read the thread, we are talking about people that get depressed in the winter, not about weather it is easier or harder to do your job in the dark

it’s got nothing to do with doing your job in the dark.

But the earlier dark nights prevent people doing things AFTER WORK
