I was at work on Christmas (it's Boxing Day right now for me). Christmas isn't a thing here (no matter how hard the merchants try to make it one) so I'm mercifully unimpacted by the high stress winter season.
(High stress here comes in early spring.)
Boxing Day... I'll have to read up on that, it sounds interesting. In some places I've lived there were all these Saints days that took place at the start of the year... Yeah, unfortunately I think a lot of people make a big deal out of Christmas because they just want to sell things.
