most depressing day of the year

gawker today snarkily notes [I know, when do they non-snarkliy note anything?] they got a rather asinine press release proclaiming that 24 January (that's a week from today) will be the most depressing day of the year.

Isn't that like declaring that one single particular grain of rice is the riciest rice there is?

Quoting: "While post holiday blues are common, stress expert Dr. Kathleen Hall, author of the new book “A Life In Balance”, says there are many steps people can take to create happiness in their dreary lives during the darkest and coldest days of the year."

To which I reply, "why bother?"
