T’was the week after Christmas, and all through your home,
the busyness now over, the couch now your throne.
The tight fitting clothing is all put away, it's now time for comfort, relaxation and play.
No more planning or baking or wrapping or sweaters,
It's now all called 'me time' and keeps getting better.
The relatives that yesterday, just made you cringe,
Have gone back to their homes, time for a TV Show binge!

With Christmas Day officially over, it's time to really have fun, it's now time to celebrate Twixmas! Twixmas is the period between Christmas and New Year's Day, usually from December 26th to December 31st. It's a time to relax and de-stress after the busy holiday season. The English call it Interscotia, the Norwegian version called Romjul.. In many other parts of the world, it's simply referred to as the festive gap.
For many, it begins with Boxing Day. In Canada, the U.K. and South Africa, the 26th is a public holiday with stores closed and Boxing Day sales not starting until the 27th. Even for those who don't have the luxury of extra time off, we can all remember being in school, and being off for the holidays for a couple of long, wonderful weeks.
I wish everyone had Boxing Day, it's nice to have 2 full days off. Knowing the world wasn't going back to normal on the 26th would make Christmas night even more special. I know it's about commerce, but really, with online shopping, would their really be less money spent with one extra day off?
At FH, we hark back to those childhood carefree holidays and celebrate Twixmas! It's a theme day of relaxation, a 'text light,' (well lighter) day of posts featuring hot guys taking it easy as they take it off. Lounging in their lounge wear, their undies and onesies. One of the best parts about Twixmas is that everyone can celebrate, it's not connected to faith or culture. If you remember your childhood winter breaks, and need a little down time, try to find a little time for Twixmas!
