I'm always glad when the Christmas and New Year holidays are over. With two bank holiday weekends, preceded by a couple of weeks when the shops are uncomfortably busy, and separated by a few days of semi holiday, it is a uniquely messy holiday. This year it seems to be lingering even longer than usual.
Even today, the 3rd of January, buses were running only a Sunday service and the market was closed, though all the city centre shops were open and busy.
It is odd that the longest period when nearly everyone is on holiday should be in the Winter. If it were transferred to the Summer we should not risk frostbite while waiting for infrequent and crowded buses, fewer people would feel a need to travel to somewhere warmer, and those who did would be less likely to be frustrated by the weather.
