January can be a great month for many different reasons, especially because it means that a New Year has started. But the third week of this month is quite especial since this year started with the most depressing day of the year, or most known as “Blue Monday”.

Though Blue Monday isn’t officially a holiday, lots of people are aware of the date, especially in the United States because almost always coincides with the celebration of Martin Luther King Day (like this year).

The concept takes into consideration post-Christmas bills, the abandonment of New Year resolutions, low sunlight levels and cold weather, which only applies to the Northern Hemisphere.

Blue Monday doesn´t exactly sounds as a day that you would want to celebrate, but digital agencies usually take advantage of these especial dates to have fun. See how team members faced Blue Monday to not be depressed!

Hawaiian leis are always a good option

You have no right to talk about #BlueMonday with that view

It’s a different kind of #BlueMonday for our team shooting in Cape Town. But for everyone else back in the office it’s pizza, ice cream, and beer to brighten up the day 🍕 🍨 🍻 pic.twitter.com/hrj2uBGFQy
