    Not able to get the Christmas tree up again?

    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.

    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.

    Hey guys who let "mr laughs" into the party? :pac::pac:

    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.

    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.

    I'd love to have a job to go to. Lost my job last December and haven't got anything since. Didn't even get the Christmas bonus as you need to be on the dole 15 months (which 90% of people dont realize). Same with fuel allowance, you need to be a year on it so I havent got that either last winter or this one. Has made for 2 pretty crappy Christmases in a row as every penny had to be stretched, no nights out (i dont drink anyway but still couldnt even justify pub prices for soft drinks, had to decline every invitation to go anywhere), no presents that i could be proud to give, can barely afford to heat the gaff and I couldnt wait for it to be over. Oh, and I got the flu too.

    But I'm sorry the sight of Christmas lights makes you sad while you're in work that must be so hard for you.

    To others, that's called a night off the booze
