It's over when the holiday period is over and television has gone back to normal as far as I'm concerned.
I've no time for killjoys who try to tell you Christmas is over as soon as the holiday period has barely begun. ![]() It's like those people who like to piss you off by turning the channel over when a film has almost finished but not quite. |

Still got loads of booze and nice food in. Will be feasting until New Year.
Roast beef and Yorkshires tomorrow and boozy sherry trifle for dessert. Football on the telly and a few beers and/or whiskys, vodkas, rums or glasses of wine and sweets and chocolate too. Then there's plenty of mince pies in, ice cream, crisps, nuts and Christmas cake as well.

ETA: Dinner in the dictionary: "the main meal of the day, usually the meal you eat in the evening but sometimes, in Britain, the meal eaten in the middle of the day".
When I was at school in the late 60's and 70's, lunch just didn't exist, I can't remember anyone calling school dinners lunch. It was Breakfast, Dinner, Tea. Same at Weekends. Dinner early to mid afternoon, then tea about 6. Tea was the light meal that Is more like Lunch I guess. Lunch sounds posh to me! lol - wrong I know, but have never used the word in my life! |

Hogmanay / New Years is something I never really understood. It marks the end of the holiday season, back to work and hum drum, certainly not something to celebrate IMO

When I hear of people taking down their trees before New Year, I can't help but wonder why they bother in the first place. For me it's always been about the full 8 or 9 days. |

Taking that to it's logical conclusion, what's the point in celebrating Christmas? Or anything, ever?

It is not over until I have had my birthday tea with chocolate cake then passed out spilling a half empty glass of wine in my lap while watching the evening film.
![]() This. But in my case that'll be tomorrow night. I feel a little sad that people think Presents, Dinner, over. Christmas breakfast. A walk on the beach. An "adult" coffee in my favourite coffee shop (who opens on Christmas Day especially for the walkers) Home to watch the Queen's speech. Cook dinner for usually about half 5. Let dinner go down, relax in front of telly. Open presents in the evening. Repeat the next day for my Birthday. Best time of year. |

Pretty crap Christmas for me. Filthy cold and an increasingly strange atmosphere at the relatives we've been staying with. To be honest I'll be glad when it's over.
