It might seem strange to those of us in Europe who are just now getting their first real taste of snow this season – but apparently the first working Monday in January is widely known as the most depressing day of the year.

Now we get it, it’s a bit of bewildering stage for many of us. The return of the 9 to 5 takes hold, the ‘party season’ has left us a little lacklustre and (in the UK at least) it’s a pretty dismal state of affairs when it comes to the weather.

But don’t go sinking into a slump just yet…

We’re gradually re-gathering our stoke in the office for 2015. Getting to task and assembling the fractured pieces of last year’s life (partially aided by the happy promise of near-future trips); and thought we’d put together a pick-me-up for the rest of you while we’re at it.

Get your chin up, stare down the barrel of 2015 and say ‘YES. I’M READY!’
