To ask if you consider the 30th and 31st the festive period

[Thepoweroflove777]

Personally I don’t really once Boxing Day is over it’s over for me.

Yep all the way till 1st/2nd

Yes.

Yes, but I'm working, so not personally

Sort of. No longer ‘Christmas’ period. But festive in the sense of going into a new year.

plus the 30th is my mums birthday, and the 31st is my daughters birthday 🙃😅

Yes, to me it’s until (and including) the 1st.

Yes. Christmas Eve right through to New Year's Day. That's all festive period.

Absolutely yes. In fact im growing to like twixmas even more as I get older.

I mean, the finals of World's Strongest Man aren't even on the telly until Boxing Day, so yes... it's definitely still festive.

Definitely. Mine lasts until the kids go back, not so much turkey and stuffing but cheese and wine. The decorations will go away the weekend before they go back and I can finally have an overdue sort out of the loft. Something to look forward to which makes me incredibly sad but it is years overdue!

Festive until at least the 2nd or later if not returning to work until eg 5th.

12 days of Christmas.

I like to keep the 12 days of Christmas from the 25th to 6 January. Life is hard, let's enjoy ourselves while we can

100% NYEs celebrations without christmas trees & decorations are weird to me.

Yes because it is

Yes. From Christmas Eve all the way through to January 2nd, 3rd in Scotland.

Yes, mid-December to Jan 1st is included in my personal festive period.

I don't want to hear Christmas tunes much before 15th December, and I am done with it all by 2nd and want to get back to a routine.

But the bit between Christmas and New Year's day is nice because it is a bit more relaxed, the stress of Christmas is over, the trauma with the roast parsnips is a distant memory but there are a few days before real life kicks in again.

Definitely. The festive period for us is the two weeks we're off work (19th-5th this year). We're both self-employed so always shut down our businesses for two weeks.

Sorry, duplicate post.

I work around Christmas including Christmas Eve, NYE and 2nd Jan and I still count Christmas until 6th Jan. Then the decorations go down.

I do think that 2nd Jan is too soon after NYD though and England/Wales should get it off like the Scots do.

Of course. The "festive period" is Christmas and the New Year.

Yes, no way am I mugging myself out of a season I really enjoy.

Absolutely it is. This is the festive period. Not November

Yes of course it is. It really depresses me when people think it’s all done and dusted by Boxing Day.

Yes, until 2nd Jan.

No,after Boxing day Christmas is done for me. I'm not fussed about celebrating New Year though. Plus I have 3 family birthdays next week, so like to separate those from Christmas.

They are usually the ones who have had their tree up since November.
