What Day Is It? Funny Questions We All Ask After Christmas 😂

Lost track of time? From leftovers for breakfast to post-Christmas tiredness, these are the fun questions everyone asks between Christmas and New Year.

If you’ve asked “Is it Tuesday or Saturday?” more than once today, welcome to the strange no-man’s-land between Christmas and New Year. The turkey is finished, the bins are confusing, and time has completely lost meaning.

Here are the questions everyone seems to ask during that oddly quiet week — and the reassuring answers.

What day is it actually?

The calendar says one thing, your body clock says another, and the TV schedule has given up entirely. Most people agree it’s safest to refer to the days as “the day after Boxing Day” or “that weird Thursday that feels like Sunday”.

Is it acceptable to eat leftovers for breakfast?

Absolutely.
Between Christmas and New Year, the usual rules do not apply. Cold roast potatoes at 9am? Festive. A slice of cheese straight from the fridge? Practical. This is not the week for judgment — especially self-judgment.

Why do I feel tired even though I’ve had time off?

This is one of the most searched questions at this time of year, and the answer is simple:
Late nights, rich food, disrupted routines and constant socialising are surprisingly exhausting — particularly as we get older. Resting properly often doesn’t happen until after Christmas is over.

Is it too early to start sorting out cupboards and drawers?

Not at all.
Many people feel an unexpected urge to tidy, declutter or “just have a quick look” in that one chaotic cupboard. It’s less about being organised and more about mentally clearing space before January arrives.

Should I start my New Year’s resolution now?

This is another big one people Google — and the honest answer is no rush.
The in-between week is better used for gentle thinking rather than dramatic life changes. A quiet walk, a notepad, or simply noticing what you’d like more or less of next year is more than enough.

What is this week actually for?

Officially? Nothing.
Unofficially? It’s for naps, walks, films you’ve already seen, wearing the same jumper for three days, and slowly re-entering real life at your own pace.

And if you’re still unsure of the day, don’t worry.
By the time it really matters again, someone will remind you.

So if you’re reading this while wearing festive pyjamas, eating something that was originally intended for Christmas Day, and wondering whether it’s socially acceptable to have a nap at 11am — you’re doing this week exactly right.

Normal service will resume soon enough. Until then, enjoy the leftovers, ignore the calendar, and if anyone asks what day it is — just smile and say, “It’s one of those days.”
