They say—as "they" are prone to doing—that today, January 19th, is the "Blue Monday" the "Most Depressing Day of the Year." But look around you: The air is crisp, it's MLK Day (meaning some of you are reading this from the comfort of your home), and tomorrow, one of Dr. King's dreams will be realized when Barack Obama becomes President. Really, things aren't so bad. Still, if you're feeling "Blue Monday" blues, we've got a collection of pretty presents, bright fashions, and fun objects to give you an injection of sunshine to get you through the day. So get whip out the credit card, start shopping, and when someone asks, "How does it feel," you can answer back with a big ol' smile.
