Signs you’re suffering from Crimbo Limbo

Between Christmas and New Year is a no man’s land of confusion and horror. As we sit in a pile of roast potatoes, leftover wrapping paper, and a sad Christmas tree no one will take down until February, we feel a bit like crying. These are all definite signs you’re stuck in the middle of Crimbo Limbo but don’t forget to look out for these other red flags…

• No one knows what day it is. Time has becoming meaningless without an advent calendar or a countdown over champagne.

• You want what you can’t have. Either you have to go back to work and are horrified by it, or you’re numb with the boredom of being at home. Both options are awful.

• You’re stuck between the ‘EAT EVERYTHING’ Christmas mentality and your need to get healthy in the New Year.

• All the Christmas excitement is over too soon and now you’re hyper aware of how much more fun everyone else’s Christmases seem to be. ‘Yes, Sally, you enjoy your Dubai getaway.’
