I'm a little bit mixed. I think it's because we'll be going back to work and school and I really don't want to 😆

Yes and winter will drag on for another 3 months at least. Hate the almost constant rain, wind and cold and few like I’ve nothing to look forward to 🙁

Slimjimtobe · 27/12/2022 14:38

I’m enjoying these quiet days with no pressure

Jumbojem · 27/12/2022 14:42

I don't think Christmas is over yet! We're off to in laws tomorrow and still off work until next Tuesday. I'm glad actual Christmas day is over as always feels a bit pressured to "have a good time" be "best ever Christmas" - I don't think SM helps here TBH! But enjoying relaxing, eating the nice food and getting out when the weather is good.

I am as I finally did xmas on my terms and it was glorious. Looking forward to NYE, my birthday and Lohri, all in January. I’m also quite partial to Valentines day.

TheaBrandt · 27/12/2022 14:46

Also feel a little sad after Christmas it’s so lovely

Serialcatmum · 27/12/2022 14:47

I’ve put my tree away and had a good hoover around 🙈

Daffodilis · 27/12/2022 14:47

Not at all, roll on Summer

blackheartsgirl · 27/12/2022 14:48

No I’m glad it’s over tbh .

i do quite like the time between Xmas and new year though.

TheHauntedPencilCase · 27/12/2022 14:48

I don't mind as all my family birthdays are in the summer so the first half of the year I spend looking forward to that then after birthdays we get Halloween then Christmas. We also are big at Easter so tbh I spend my year looking forward to the next thing which helps.

ThePear · 27/12/2022 14:49

Absofuckinglutely not.

Reindeersnooker · 27/12/2022 14:50

I'm delighted.

Nsky62 · 27/12/2022 14:50

Mine was crap, friend illi should have been spending it with

Mimilamore · 27/12/2022 14:50

Love it being over...

Afterfire · 27/12/2022 14:51

I don’t feel it’s over yet… we’re all still eating Christmas food, watching Christmas films and people are popping to visit people. For me Christmas ends with the new year.

JamSandle · 27/12/2022 14:51

I like these in between days. No work yet just peace and quiet.

Me too!

Doyouthinktheyknow · 27/12/2022 14:53

I’m relieved to be honest, things can get back to normal.

Not too excited about returning to work tomorrow though🤪🤣

HornyHandedSonOfTroll · 27/12/2022 14:55

I'm happy and relieved in equal measures. Roll on spring and summer.

JackieCollinsExistentialQuestionTime · 27/12/2022 14:56

But it’s not over! The twelve days of Christmas have only just started. This is the bit that I really enjoy, the quiet and slower pace.

The Christmas season seems to start so early now that people are bored before it’s actually started!

Lampzade · 27/12/2022 14:57

I love Boxing Day
I find it a lot less stressful than Christmas Day.

Sugarfree23 · 27/12/2022 14:57

I'm glad all the Christmas mania is over, wrapping stuff, kids changing minds, all the Christmas stress is gone.

Time to actually enjoy chilling, kids enjoying their new stuff, not tidying stuff away incase of accidents or bits going missing.

Roominmyhouse · 27/12/2022 14:58

Not over for us! We had Christmas Day with my family, Boxing Day with DH’s. Today we are having our own Christmas Day just the two of us and keeping the festive spirit going! We had Buck’s Fizz at breakfast and are making a Christmas dinner. The only thing missing is more presents!
