well there we are, christmas day all over for another year.

been great so far, spent some decent quality time with family and friends already. feel sick though, eaten far too much.

what's everybody got planned for the new year?

we should all be going out for a major crawl and drinking session - not sure where, but i'm looking forward too going out with a few mates somewhere.

I only started eating my Advent Calendar Chocolates on Christmas Day, and I ate them in order.

It still has seven/six (?) chocolates, counting down to the new year now.

It calls itself a 'Christmas Countdown Calendar', what is wrong with 'Advent Calendar'?

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!

Advent is the 24 day countdown to christmas eve, your christmas countdown is not an advent as it goes onto new year.

If it ends on the new year it's not a christmas countdown either.

Yes but then if it's a New Year Countdown, then a vital part of the whole season is missed. I think that the whole Christmas and New Year time needs rebranding to avoid situations like this. From now on, anything between 16th December and 2nd January is to be referred to as Shirley. The Countdown can be referred to as the Shirley Schedule.

Problem solved.
