It’s that time of the year again – your best friend’s going off to a destination wedding, Sharma aunty is boasting about a holiday to Dubai, and friends, colleagues, acquaintances alike are hounding you about New Year’s Eve plans. In other words, it’s the December festive season.

A quiet, uneventful holiday season can be pleasant. But having your Facebook newsfeed flooded with updates of people’s exotic vacations? You could take it or leave it. And you should leave it!

If you find yourself scrolling through your newsfeed, feeling low, then you’ve caught the blues... the social media blues. Facebook is making us unhappy, and lurking on the site, especially around festival time, is making us miserable.
