Who stole my Christmas



Today I am relaxing.  But note I have missed Christmas.


Agata and Marcus don't really celebrate Christmas too much but we feel we do have the right to slow down, drink eat and be merry much like everybody around us.


So what with working 10 hours on Christmas Eve, 4 hours on Christmas Day, 8 on Boxing day I can honestly say that **** has stolen my Christmas.  My indignation is basically that in England and in say a traditional International Corporate environment



  • Early December: Christmas Planning
  • Mid December: Company Christmas Lunch
  • A bit Later: Corporate Christmas Party
  • 1 week before:  Absences at work due to Afternoon Shopping
  • Christmas Eve: Disappearing from the Office Early
  • Christmas Day: No Work, Food, Alcohol, Queens Speech
  • Boxing Day: Recovering
  • Until New Year:  Take it Easy
  • New Years Eve: Party
  • New Years Day: Recovery
Yes I missed out on this great British slowdown tradition.   We were robbed.
