    ah my christmas always ends really fast.

    as soon as all the christmas leftovers have been finished off in sandwiches and other various food forms, then christmas is over.

    finished the food on the 30th december so ive had plenty of time to get used to the lack of christmas so im used to it now... until next year when the pain starts all over again

    You could be like this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Park_(Mr._Christmas)

    But it may not be good for your health.
    Andy Park, an electrician from Melksham, Wiltshire, England, styles himself "Mr. Christmas" after having celebrated Christmas day every day since 1994.

    In 2001, Mr. Park estimated that since he started celebrating, he had got through 30 artificial Christmas trees, 10,000m of tinsel and 10,000 balloons, at a (then) estimated cost of £100,000.

    Each day he eats breakfast (turkey sandwich and mince pies), then goes to work, until returning around at lunchtime to eat a full roast turkey dinner before watching a recording of the Queen's Christmas speech, sherry in hand. In 2006, it was reported that the Queen had politely declined an invitation to broadcast her speech from his house.

    In an interview published in 2006, Mr. Park was quoted as saying that over the previous 13 years, he had consumed 4,380 turkeys (one a day), 87,600 mince pies (20 a day), 2,190 pints of gravy (half a pint a day), 26,280 roast potatoes (six a day), 30,660 stuffing balls, 219,000 mushy peas, 4,380 bottles of champagne, 4,380 bottles of sherry and 5,000 bottles of wine. However, in 2001, he was warned by his doctor that the diet was affecting his health after his weight increased to 19 stone (121 kg).
