Living in Louisiana from December to March (depending on when Mardi Gras falls) is like being at a super Bridezilla fabulous wedding and going from cocktail hour (Christmas and New Year’s) to the grand ballroom dinner and then dance party. So, that’s why I was shocked when I moved up to Long Island, then Brooklyn and now New Jersey to learn that people experience SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder. It wasn’t until I first experienced it myself that I realized why people had “light therapy” on their Christmas and Hanukkah gift wish lists. We don’t get SAD in south Louisiana. We get Mardi Gras…
