In fact, as Jill Robbins points out today, it’s maybe even harder than going back to school after summer break: “When the first day back to school rolls around in January, everyone is sluggish and tired. Although the kids probably feel some excitement over seeing their friends again, there’s not that same nervous, happy rush of energy that’s present in August.”
