Things you'll only understand if you have post-Christmas blues

You'll probably experience some of these

Christmas blues

With the run up to Christmas taking place over at least a month, once that special day has gone, many will experience the post-Christmas blues. So, if you’re a big Christmas lover you'll almost certainly be able to relate to these situations. Just how long can you get away with leaving your Christmas tree up?

Here are 11 things you'll only understand if you have post-Christmas blues:

1. Taking down the tree should be put off as long as possible

Pass the tissues as you put the baubles away!

2. You now have no excuse to eat chocolate

Bring on Easter!

3. You realise just how many gift sets you now have

And you now have to find a place for all that body lotion.

4. There are no good films to watch

It's just not the same watching Disney on a DVD.

5. Christmas songs are no longer acceptable

Christmas Hits 1995 goes back into storage.

6. Christmas movies are gone

We only got to see Home Alone three times!

7. Christmas jumpers are out of fashion

Back in the wardrobe it goes… Sob!

8. It’s no longer acceptable to eat our body weight in festive food

Quick, hide the scales!

9. No more overexcited Secret Santas

It's amazing what bargains you can get for a fiver!

10. Our Advent Calendars have run out

How are we going to survive without the miniature piece of chocolate every morning?

11. Back to work we go

Time to go and get through two weeks' worth of emails.
