I have the sense that winter in Minnesota after Christmas has a kind of hunker down feeling. There is busyness leading up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. There are parties, gatherings, shopping, cooking, programs and the like. Once all of that is over we hit January and there isn’t a big holiday to work and plan around. The weather typically gets to the coldest that it gets all year and people tend to stay at home and indoors a bit more. Perhaps part of that is post-Christmas recovery, and part of it might be that there isn’t as much going on, or so it seems. So sometimes these months feel like quiet or even unimportant months (unless you are love ice fishing or are involved in basketball, of course)
