2. Wednesday. (or Tuesday depending upon interpretation.)

Tuesday is Twelfth Day aka Epiphany. Jan 6. While no longer celebrated widely, by Christian tradition, Epiphany marks the end of the Holiday season and the twelve days of Christmas. (So it really depends upon one's tradition.)

I hate when really cool traditions are lost from the middle ages. Twelfth Night (Jan. 5th) is neat. Merrymaking, song, masquerade festivities, feast and libations. Then Twelfth Day you're supposed to get up and take down all your Christmas decorations. It's bad luck to leave them up.

ETA: Recognition that not everybody celebrates the same traditions.

3. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!

AND IT WON'T BE OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS!1!!1!

4. President's Day and MLK Day are the outliers.

Anyone who still doesn't feel like celebrating President's Day, though, will get no argument from me.

6. I've decided that they never end...

the end of one holiday season is the beginning of another.

Winter holidays>Carnival/Mardi-gras>Spring holidays>Picnic season>Summer!>Harvest celebrations>Winter holidays...

5. There's me and one other person in the building

we're hoping there was a communication breakdown, and we'll leave soon enough

7. Tuesday when my kid goes back to school...

although it kind of feels like they are over today. I think I've had enough as it is - I woke up with the flu yesterday and that seemed a signal that I had had enough fun for one year....

8. We are on endless holiday this time.

:toast:

Er, or do you want it the other way around? :think:

Ah, either way, :toast:
