It's all over now, bar the residual mince pies, sausage rolls, chocolates, & any other Christmas related foodstuffs not consumed over the festive period. There's also, of course, the Christmas cake - which will last well into March, by which time you will be completely sick & tired of it, & not care if you never clap eyes on another for the rest of your natural life. The tree will stand in it's spot, looking more & more incongruous as your lives have returned to pre-Christmas normality. It will, however, leave a gaping hole when it's finally taken down.You will feel, as you do most years, cheated out of those wonderful & glowing Christmases of old. The ones where you still wanted to decorate the tree, & hung your stocking on the end of the bed for Father Christmas. Don't forget, though, that those are real memories - Christmas really was that good. And once you accept that Christmas can never be that magical again, you can begin to enjoy Christmas again - for different reasons.
Plus you get presents.
