postholiday
Following the celebration
Postholiday describes the period or mood following a holiday or vacation.
It often carries connotations of returning to routine, catching up on work, or feeling depleted: the postholiday slump, postholiday sales, postholiday blues.
The term appears frequently around January, after the winter holiday season.
