I agree!

I'm Jewish, and Chanukah was over 2 nights ago. But it's about the entire holiday season for me, up to New Year's Day, which is a week away. I have weekend holiday plans, and don't feel in any way that the holiday season is over. The week that's ahead is actually the best part of the holidays, IMO.

I agree with others...the week between Christmas and New Year's is still a holiday for me! I have always had this week off and I enjoy it.

Enjoying the holiday season for another week, too. Don't have to go back to work until after New Years.

Think I'll spend some time organizing a few things around the house and getting a new gym routine.

To regain my sanity after hosting the family dinner last night. A lot of work for something that's over in a few hours! ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

I can empathize, I did it all last weekend. Once company left, I think I was in bed by 9:30PM!

Yep, it's a lot of work! Of course I probably put more pressure on myself than necessary - but glad the 'hosting' part is over for now.

To fly home empty suitcase, take decorations down, clean & repack for a beautiful 14 day cruise. Happy New Year -- no point making resolutions because I was going to lose 25 lbs before this vacation & guess what -- well you probably know "they're still here!" LOL

Christmas just started, it's not anywhere near being over. Advent is over. My husband isn't going back to work until after the new year. I plan on baking Christmas cookies and enjoying time together as a family.

I agree. That's why they call it the Christmas season. Some of the most enjoyable days can be after the big day when the pressure is off. That's the time I like to enjoy my home and decorations and relax a bit. For me, Epiphany ends the season, not Christmas Day.

Agreed! Here in the south, and where you find Catholic families, they leave their stuff up till Jan. 6. A full 12 days after having to do with the "The Twelfth Night" pagan holiday. It also leads up to Mardi Gras. I just enjoy having the tree up as long as possible. For the time and trouble we put into it, I like to have it around a bit longer...
