How you know the holidays are over:

  • The living room feels very big, but very empty
  • Every time you run the vacuum the house smells like pine
  • You finally find a place for those Christmas presents
  • You walk into a room in your house and suddenly notice another decoration that you haven’t put away
  • When you walk into the stores, they are red and green again, but also pastel
  • You finally throw away the last of the stale cookies and put away the tin(s) for next year
  • You suddenly realize that you’re completely out of wine (except for that "special" bottle you’re saving)
  • The new toys start breaking, or worse, are totally forgotten

Feel free to add your own.

You are stabbed in the leg by an ornament hook that has somehow entwined itself into the aphgan on the back of the sofa.

you secretly smile because other people don't make you cringe by wearing ugly xmas sweaters...

or you have to figure out what to do with the one outfit for the kid(s) that someone else got them that says 'xmas' all over...
