There's only one word for this period on the festive calendar

One disgusting word.

THE TIME BETWEEN Christmas and New Year.

A strange time. A time of Pringles and Baileys and staying up until 4am and feeling like it’s never going to end while simultaneously hurtling rapidly towards New Year’s Eve.

The week between christmas and new year is the most confusing time ever what day is it?? Are shops open?? Who knows

December 26th-30th is like the wait between 18 and 21. Nothing happens and all you do is wait. The taint of the year. Every year.
