Its not changed much over the years and usually appears about 4 or 5 days before Christmas Day. It’s a condition that once acquired is difficult to shake off. Christmas face has the following symptoms: dilated eyes, with deep rings beneath, sweaty palms, panic attacks, sleep disorder. Sufferers used to be spotted with crumpled pieces of paper with barely legible notes, these days it is more normal to see the younger sufferers glued to a smart phone and bathed in its light. Almost exclusively suffered by men only.

It’s not a serious condition and usually abates between Christmas Day until the date of a credit card bill when it can return with a vengeance.

I wish all my readers here a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
