    Christmas is crap and stupid. I started a thread about this before Christmas. It takes until after it for people to realize how horrible it is.

    But you ones complaining here will be wearing retarded jumpers, watching the ****ed up Toy Show again and yer 12 pubs of human misery next year.

    Christmas is whatever you want it to be.
    I personally like Christmas a lot, but will also look forward to get everything back to normal this weekend and get back to routine again.

    I enjoyed Christmas this year. I'm not back into work until Monday but I'm ready to go back.

    I find that the drinking gets a bit tiresome after a while and so I've decided to partake in dry January this year.

    Ready now to do something productive rather than lazing around the whole time.

    For me having the lights, tree up, etc for the first few days back was something to look forward to going home to in the evening.

    I absolutely hate the month of January.. I think it is a very depressing month. Shops are quite, celebrations are all over, even the days are still very short. There is definitely a lull now. I will be so relived when February arrives

    I won’t consider Christmas “over” until I’m not eating chocolate, or biscuits, before breakfast.

    The tide is turning…

    I'd say you're a right laugh.

    It's an odd couple of days, it feels like things don't really get back to normal until Jan 6th.

    Would have thought the shops being quiet was a thing to be celebrated personally

    The teachers are still happy and that's the main thing.

    Passed school where I work and all 3 teachers cars were there today prepping for the next term. As I’m not a teacher I didn’t have to be in so I’m still happy.

    Not in the slightest bit depressed, I love when all the Christmas sh1te is over. Back to work today, Christmas tree outside the house awaiting collection, all the clutter and crap back in boxes in the attic. House lovely and clean, and now I'm looking forward to Spring.

    I wish I lived up in the Alps, they are only getting going now. Another 2-3 months of daily activities, this is their big time of year, it is all go.

    All we have is a month of commercial queues, boozing and nonsense and now 2 months of drearyfest, I can't stand it.

    When all the fat camp programs come on the telly, you know it is a hopeless time of year. My best advice? Take the next month to take up something "new" as opposed to " giving up" something. New years are about new beginnings, not lamenting past times.

    Not depressed at all, happy to be back at work to be honest.

    Christmas is great, but I've had enough of drink, sweets, Indiana Jones and spending silly money.

    Funs over folks, back to work.

    Yep, Ive actually been getting genuinely down/depressed about it all being over, which is quite strange, or maybe it's not.

    It's kinda wearing off now but the other day I kept stopping and thinking ' this time last week i was finished work and it was all starting off'

    It's still lingering limply in the corner, a half-dead reminder of happier times.

    The Christmas Lights just rub it in the face when we are on this side of the holidays. Also, many people who are sentimental about Christmas tend to stock pile a considerable chunk of their annual leave for the festive period. Moreover, New Years for many spells the end of the Christmas break and going back to work culminating in the preverbial January Blues.

    Once January is over with, you have St Patrick's Day and Easter to look forward to followed shortly thereafter by the May and June Bank Holidays. Even for those who enjoy their jobs, the shift back to normality can be daunting.

    I’d happily spend the full year living like the two weeks of Christmas! Love it!

    Sunday night is going to be crippling levels of depression before going back to work Monday.

    Yes it reminds me of when all the snow has melted after a bout of ultra cold weather and you realise normal boredom has returned.
