I woke up to find everyone else had already opened all their present, and they kept shoving mine at me.
I had opened them all before i was even fully awake.

I remember I believe it was either last year or the year before, when everyone made their avatars have Christmas hats on them, and if I recall correctly, it was entirely there choice, and apparently the admins gave everyone a deadline to get rid of the hats or else they'd be docked some DC points. Haha, those are some post-Christmas blues right there.
It's gone a bit quick here too. Think it's because I'm working my arse off at the moment to get some stuff sent off, but I managed to keep away from working on Christmas day itself. It's not the same when you have something to do.
This Christmas, I decided to go with getting a few games and a cellphone rather then a bunch of parts for my computer like usual. So my post-Christmas blue is essentially being bored with everything I got already.
PS: Glad to see you know how to contribute, Adam. That was an insanely useful post right there.
Glad it wasn't just the west Midlands that let Christmas 'go past' everyone - no-one seemed to be in a very merry mood, everyone appeared miserable in towns i shopped in and hardly anyone said Merry Christmas back to me when they served me. Guess they were a little pre-occupied with worrying about losing their jobs or wondering if they could afford their bills and things but still, very disappointing.
Oh, and i noticed there were fewer decorations out in people's windows and in high streets this year. This is also very sad - though i cannot really comment on the house windows thing (since i have never bothered turning my home into a light-fest before), i think councils are exceptionally mean for not putting decorations and lights up in the towns i'm about to list;
Hereford
Worcester
Kidderminster
Brierly Hill (especially Merry Hill)
I hope the people who made the decision to save a few quid on their town's decorations this year in order to increase their own bonuses find themselves falling down some really steep steps this year!
On a plus note, Tenbury Wells put on a great Christmas light show this year after a disasterous 2007 attempt, including the Christmas tree decorated from the bottom to just half-way up. With some forceful pressure from the locals who complained, they went all out this year and made some good ammends.
