13 things you’ll find yourself doing between now and New Year.

It’s official – we’ve had the good bit and now we’re stuck in the long ole wait until New Year’s, which isn’t really that long but feels like a billion years.
Maybe it’s some kind of turkey-induced coma or maybe it’s just the dark nights catching up with us.
Either way you’ll probably find yourself doing at least one of these between now and New Year’s.
1. Considering tidying your childhood bedroom and even maybe redecorating it, moving a box of old school folders from one side of the room to the other, then giving up and going to watch The Golden Compass instead.
2. Sorting your presents into four neat piles – ‘stuff I can give to someone else’, ‘stuff I can give to someone else I don’t like much’, ‘stuff for the charity bag’ and ‘bin’.
3. Wearing all the new items of clothing you’ve been given, possibly at once, to prove to the family how much you like them (and that they definitely won’t be getting shoved to the back of the wardrobe then taken to Oxfam after three years).
4. Eating. All the eating. If you haven’t eaten at least 50 per cent of the selection boxes that is a very poor show, my friend.
5. Going to the toilet many more times than you need, not so much to do with all the eating, more because it’s the only room in the house with a lock on the door and you need to escape the total and utter chaos around you.
6. Thinking how sad Christmas trees look after Christmas, and watching yours gradually wilt day by day.
7. Thinking about going to the gym but instead eating Quality Street because the torture can wait until New Year’s.
8. Trying to find ways new and inventive ways to hide all the bottles overflowing the recycling bin so the neighbours don’t think you’re an alcy.
9. Driving to the tip and being shocked by the queue, which is possibly longer than last year’s.
10. Eating some more.
11. Spending more time in your Christmas pyjamas and Santa slippers than is probably hygienic while watching reruns of Dad’s Army because you forgot to buy a Radio Times and your family doesn’t understand the concept of watching TV on a computer.
12. Going for the only walk of the year which doesn’t involve walking at break-neck speed, tutting at tourists blocking the Tube entrance and millions of people bumping into you.
13. Planning to see your old school friends then looking outside and seeing it’s a bit cold / actually the arctic and cancelling so you can stay inside with the pyjamas, hot chocolate and Dad’s Army.
