The pre Christmas Slump

9 replies

XmasSlump · 18/12/2023 13:24

The last working week before Christmas is the absolute worst. I'm in a miserable slump and just hate this build up before the big day. And that's just it. It's one day. I'll feel better come Friday when I'm done at work but at the moment it is dragging and a struggle. It can't just be me feeling this.

If it makes you feel better I've only got Christmas Day off

I know what you mean. The build-up is too long and the excitement is wearing thin a bit.

I know what you mean. Finish tomorrow and today is dragging

I don't feel Christmassy at all this year. Usually I absolutely love the whole build up etc but this year i'm really not excited at all. I blame it on the lack of the coca cola holiday are coming advert

The last week is always a bit of a slog, yes. I try and have a day or two off if I can so it's shorter. I feel for those who have to work up to the last minute and/ or work Christmas day itself.

I am just exhausted and not in the least festive. The house is decorated and looks lovely,the prezzies are bought and wrapped and most of the food is in other than fresh stuff.I just have no enthusiasm this year.

Yep, just not feeling it this year and I can’t put my finger on why

My feelings are coming and going.
Last day was Friday and it was a slog and I've been buzzy all day today.
I think house will be finished tomorrow... And all the boxes go back into the attic..

I think I peaked too soon. I've already had two Christmas nights out and 2 more are arranged for this week. I feel exhausted already and I am nowhere near finished with presents or food prep 😩
