There are depressed areas in my yard too. I've tried a few things: holiday lawn decorations (avoid Halloween themes) and fast growing shrubby to screen the sadness from the kitchen window. But at this time of year, I find drinking is a fast and easy solution to many "festive season" issues. But avoid gin as it often leads to tears, listening to Lilith Fair music, and punch-ups with the neighbors ("Oh, yeah? Sarah McLachlan hasn't written anything decent since 1997? Well, f-you, buddy!")
