The emotional & economic impact of the post-holiday season is well established, with Blue Monday (the third Monday of the year, & your second inauguration date!) confirmed as the most stressful day of the year.
However, as December proves every year, winter can be as festive & prosperous as any season, if only we would continue to celebrate it beyond Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, & New Year's Day.
To boost the country through the dark days of January, the President & Congress should establish a federal Winterfest weekend holiday kicking off on the fifth Thursday of the year—but officially observed on Friday & the following weekend—filled with concerts, feasting, sports (the Super Bowl could be pinned to Winterfest Sunday, if the NFL cooperates), & other winter-themed events!
