It seems to start in September and finish in February, what was a two day holiday of xmas day and boxing day is now a 7 to 10 day holiday period with firms closing just because its xmas.
Not sure where you are but I wish it was a 7 to 10 day holiday! I've long wanted it to hark back to the days when I was a kid and EVERYTHING shut for a week (well except the Asian corner shops of course) these days Tesco shuts at 10pm xmas eve and is open 8am boxing day, as do most other shops, Constantly barading us with 'sales' and such. Most of my mates who work in either retail or factories only get 1 or 2 days off. Even myself as a tattooist have appointments in the week between Xmas and new year ??
Just doesn't seem like Christmas after boxing day anymore, when I was a kid Christmas lasted until new years day
