Christmas time is a time of traditions which is why you often hear common phrases and questions. Speaking of which, here are eight things you will always say or hear on St Stephen’s Day…
1. That’s it all over for another year
You’d think there was an extra present for whoever can say this the most. While it is probably the most obvious, pointless statement in the world, St Stephen’s Day wouldn’t be the same without it.
2. Heading to the pub?
Often followed by “sure why not?” (Actually there are a few reasons like you’ve spent enough money and you can NEVER get a taxi home.)
3. The diet starts tomorrow
As you put a second slice of chocolate cake on your plate for the second night running and discuss dinner plans for the weekend and New Year.
4. And what did you get from Santa?
It doesn’t matter what age you are, this question is a requisite.
5. I love/ hate the sales
While some rush to be the first person at the shutters, others couldn’t think of anything worse than dragging themselves out of bed to risk their sanity for a bargain.
6. How can people think of doing more shopping?
This one is usually aimed at those who love the sales by people who hate the sales (but will later complain that they didn’t get anything in the sales).
7. How was your Christmas?
Think it’s a safe bet that it was “quiet.”
8. I’m tired
You might have had a quiet one but all that eating/ drinking/ socialising/ opening presents sure takes it out of you.
