DH is back to work as normal now and so I'll be at home with the kids today. Woke up feeling a bit sad that its all over. Christmas Eve was a fun build up, Christmas Day was just wonderful. My parents came over and we had a fabulous day (Dh is a farmer so for him tonhavevan entire day off is a big rarity). Yesterday was nice too DH had a half day and we all chilled out.

Now it's all over, and New year is so dull and depressing. We have a party on New Years Day night but I can't be arsed with it.

AIBU to be feeling this blue just two days after Christmas?

I want to get back to normal tbh! I've enjoyed it but crave normality now.

MoleyMick · 27/12/2012 08:17

Are you me? I feel exactly the same. It's 6pm here, DH works nights and its just mr and the kids. We had a lovely Christmas too, he had four days off which is so rare, and now it is just back to normal. Post Xmas blues big time!

OH went back to work last night after two days off. Christmas is over by Christmas day for us anyway, I did try to keep up the momentum by laying on loads of buffet food (which I'm now eating for breakfast) but with just us and a 2 year old it's not very festive.

Maybe next year!

SamuelWestsMistress · 27/12/2012 08:43

Aaah Moley I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Usually like you Roooibos I'm itching to get back to normal but this year I'm not!

I wish it could be Christmas every day. You know when the bells start singing and the band begins to play.

Even that attempt at humour just irritated myself.

I feel exactly the same op.
I had my whole family here for Christmas and boxing day. My db and his partner stayed over for the first time so my 2 younger dss were even more excited than usual!
Im sitting in my empty living room (only 1ds out of 3 is awake..oh at work) wishing I lived in a commune (sp?).with them all at the north pole if I'm honest
Can't wait for NYE when they all come bavk again. All we do is laugh when we're together and I really do have the most generous loving dps and dbs in the world..sorry for rambling.

AltinkumATEalltheTurkey · 27/12/2012 10:24

I wish I was dh and dh wishes he was me, I'm back at work today, but dh finished on the 23rd and doesn't go back till the 3rd, while all I've had off is 3 days! I just want to curl up and watch t? And eat drink and get merry lol x x x

Nuttyprofessor · 27/12/2012 10:26

Count your blessings, for it all to go so well and live up to your expectations is really all you could hope for.

Your family and Christmas sounds lovely.

We don't get back to normal until 7 jan.

We have got something on every day until next Thursday, including 3 big parties.

Sorry, liver and pancreas. I'll make it up to you both.

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 27/12/2012 10:29

I am back at work today and thank god!! 2 days is enough for me, just want to get back to normal.

My stomach feels enormous, my liver is probably shot to pieces - off top play badminton with DH in a bit, bet I will be lumbering all over the court like a fairy elephant :)

TiggyD · 27/12/2012 10:41

I've just taken my Christmas name change off. Feels comfy to be back to being TiggyD.

I think people need to start Christmas earlier. Us nursery workers have to start thinking about Christmas early November. Some things have to be done by the first of December, such as advent calendars, and planning has to be done in readiness. As a result we have 2 months of Christmassy feeling which is just about enough for me.

RooneyMara · 27/12/2012 10:45

I'm really relieved tbh - pressure to see family members you can't stand, presents from same that you can't stand, people you thought had gone for good texting you while probably drunk - I'm glad it's all back to normal tbh.

Plus I have my bedroom back (was full of boxes hidden under a blanket!) and can concentrate on giving birth and all that.

Tree is outside, decorations are away. I can tidy up

AngryFeet · 27/12/2012 10:51

I'm kind of glad it is over tbh. I normally love xmas but having flu from 13th to 24th Dec killed the whole thing for me. I missed all the fun parties and now I am better I feel stressed at having to sort everything out. Am even tempted to cancel my NYE party at the moment.

BigBoPeep · 27/12/2012 10:53

farmers here too. dh out, me stuck in with whingey baby...dont feel sad xmas is over, just profoundly bored. i should be getting on with my self-assessment...oh, great

DowntonSprouts · 27/12/2012 10:54

I am glad it's over. It was a lovely couple of days but I found the build up very stressful this year.

I am moving in less than a week and I felt I couldn't get sorted for that until Christmas was over.

RooneyMara · 27/12/2012 12:02

Actually the nicest thing is the days getting just a teeny bit longer. I feel hopeful iykwim? Just the light in the morning and the birds singing a bit.

I dunno, it always feels positive at this point in the year.

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 27/12/2012 12:05

I'm sad too . I'm back at work today, feel fat and shattered. And just discovered one of my rabbits dead

Christmas went by too fast!
