January Blues

This is the funk that you enter when the holiday season is over. It starts on January 2nd and lasts at least until February 1st, sometimes until President's Day. It is an unpleasant time because the holiday season is over, spring is a ways off, the weather is cold and the only movies are lousy January movies. Super Bowl Sunday can be a good cure for this condition.

For a related condition see September Blues

There are no good movies out and the holidays are long over. Some friends and I are going to play some games to help fight the January Blues.

holiday movie season

These are the movies released during the holiday season. They usually are released from about the second week of November to the third week of December, sometimes even on Christmas Day. These movies are usually family-friendly (and often holiday-themed) movies but may also be movies that are Oscar-worthy. This and the summer blockbuster season are the two most important in Hollywood.

Family-friendly movies such as those in the "Harry Potter" and "Chronicles of Narnia" movies are released during the holiday movie season. Oscar winners like "Titanic" are also released at this time.
