Such a funny time of the year. December is so busy. Work Christmas parties, meeting up with friends, all the present shopping then a week of massive over indulgence. Then it all stops.
I was thinking the same thing myself. Me and the Mrs went for a walk yesterday around hove and there was no one out and about. I went into brighton and it was dead. Half the shops in the mall were closed as well.
Don't know what the solution is. Next week life starts returning to normal.

May I suggest a cheeky pint to bridge the gap until Monday?

Usually we will go for a walk somewhere in the countryside for a bit of peace after all the flying about.
Watch a couple of films ( my Mrs is currently watching The Sound Of Music)
Therefore.......
Just had an hour going through my Tri Logo cardbacks, looking at my loosies, making a list of what I'm after this year.
I know it sounds a bit soppy but Above all take stock of what I actually have how there are thousands of people who don't have much at all to look forward to other than the hardships that life has thrown at them, thank my lucky stars
Look forward to what 2015 will bring ( especially Dec 8)

From memory I think we are at the start of the longest period between bank holidays in the calendar. Always seemed a bit strange that we have such a gap at this time of year. Though I guess the idea is give people time off when the weather is better/less ****.
It's always nice to have the thought in the back of your head that you get an extra day off in a few weeks etc. Now the next bank holiday isn't until bloody April (Good Friday) :roll:

I've always had post xmas blues but as I'm getting older I like the calm after the storm as well. It's nice when new year is mid week as then you go into the weekend straight after. :| :|

Couldn't agree more with this. So much pressure to have a good night. Over the top prices, pubs packed to the rafters so you don't get served and so many people that come out once a year. You never see them any other time of the year and they can't handle their ale. So many drunken regrets as well.

If everyone went out once a week there would still be loads of pubs.our local its £ 1.70 a pint yet on a sat night its always half empty .surly everyones not that in to x factor
i get major blues after boxing day, i want the decorations down ect lol, if it wasnt for the kids i would do.
The actual 3 weeks before xmas is the magical time for me, xmas movies, decorations, music, planning, then the day itself and boxing day family meal and booze up.
then its over lol

I used to go out when I was younger, never enjoyed it that much back then, big anti-climax. I don't drink so ended up as bloody taxi driver taking everyone home :!:
This year and the past few years just went round my best friends house and met a few friends there, nice and civilised (bite to eat, put the world to rights) then back home & in bed by 1AM.
Definitely felt it this year, was fine right up until Jan 1st then as soon as 2015 started I felt pretty down.
Some stuff coming up in a couple of months time that I'm not looking forward to so was trying to hang on to 2014 as long as possible

Yeah i get the post christmas blues, i suffer with depression anyway so it just adds to that, try to stay positive and be upbeat, sometimes its a struggle.
Had a great christmas with the family, can't grumble about that, hope all you guys shake the blues off soon.
