How to Fight Off Blue Monday at Home
Feeling a blue Monday coming on? Here are a few tips for battening down the hatches and keeping yourself in a good mood.
1. Bring in the wood for a blazing fire. A fire in the fireplace always lifts my mood a few notches. Heck, get out the marshmallows and make s'mores if you want (recommended for wood burning fireplaces only).

2. Use the Force. Well, at least rent your favorite episode of Star Wars, a stupid action movie or schmaltzy romantic comedy. I'll be watching The Larry Sanders Show DVDs Santa brought me. (Hey Now!)

4. Figure out where you stored Yahtzee! and Battleship. Get together with family and friends and play some good old-fashioned games.

9. Have a good read. Pull out your favorite design books, trashy magazines, or that novel you haven't had time to read lately and indulge. Curl up on the sofa, a chaise or even on your bed with a warm blanket and a fattening coffee or cocoa drink. Blue Monday has now become a great excuse to indulge.
