The end of holiday gloom

Hello,

is "the end of the holiday gloom" a common expression?
I heard it some time ago, but I'm wondering if it's a fixed expression.
If it is not, is there any word with a similar meaning?

Thank you

It seems confusingly ambiguous. I initially read it as meaning that the "holiday gloom" had ended, but holidays are not usually gloomy. e, the gloomy feeling that arises when a holiday ends and one has to go back to work.
