When I started work most people had two days off for Christmas, Christmas Day and Boxing (or Monday and Tuesday if it fell on the weekend). No day off for New Year's Day either. Now it seems to be a 10 - 14 day feast for many people.

We didn't have a fridge or freezer so the meat, milk, cream had to be bought on Christmas Eve - very long queues outside the butcher's.

Do you think Christmas today lasts too long?

I would largely think that anyone having a 10-14 day holiday over Christmas either work in a school or have used some of their annual leave.

I used to work long solo shifts during the Christmas holidays. I much preferred the peaceful solitude. Christmas succumbed years ago to greed and materialistic acquisitions. Humbug anyone?
