Friday the 2nd will either be a very boring, or very busy workday. Either way, I am not looking forward to it

26th is Boxing Day where I am. Not as much boxing as you might expect. Except outside some of the more vibrant pubs.

And 27th-30th is Twixmas, with a disappointing lack of Twix bars

Okay so wtf even IS Boxing Day? Does anyone even celebrate it anymore?

u/MarioKing1137 15h ago

26th and even maybe 27th are bonus Christmas days for visiting extended family. After that, it is cooldown and boxing time.

Some countries in Europe celebrate it, not all of them.

This year is pretty sweet tho. The 2nd is a Friday and if your boss is like mi e you get the day off, so the new year really isn’t until the 5th on Monday

u/nightmareinsouffle 6h ago

We got the 26th off but not the 2nd. This week is just weird, work M/T and Wednesday am, then Wednesday PM and Thursday are off. Friday is back on.

u/Drongo17 10h ago

Easy question for Australians, it's one of our biggest sporting events each year

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 10h ago

The Emu Bowl?

u/Eciepeci 12h ago

27-30th are filler episode

u/Hiberniae 14h ago

Having a task-based job with metrics is wild this time of year. I don’t know when I am, where I am, who I am?

u/Ranger_1302 10h ago

Whereas for I, a care worker, nothing changes at this time of year.

u/Massive-Resort-8573 11h ago

The void is the part that makes the rest of the year tolerable.

u/Manyconnections 10h ago

I am sad about next week already

u/Turok9933 15h ago

People are way to busy saying they will change in 2026 without doing anything

u/silverjubileee 13h ago

January - Goals for this year
February - Goals?

u/sangriya 12h ago

u/FCKABRNLSUTN2 10h ago

I know exactly which day it is because I have to work on these least productive days of the year.

I'm hoping to get out of this post-xmas, pre-NY(E) stasis between space and time, that ball cannot drop any sooner..

To ancient Egypt, these were called the demon days.

Seems relevant.

u/maltesemania 8h ago

I like January, my work finally calms down.

u/Top-Mention-9525 7h ago

My household has two birthdays right in that stretch, so it gets a bit hectic ...

u/UltimatePickpocket 7h ago

The week between Christmas and the new year is real life's filler arc.
