If you’re not working, and maybe even if you are working, this is such a confusing time of year – We don’t know what day it is.
These days off between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve are what Bob and Doug McKenzie called the “mystery days” during their 12 Days of Christmas.
Here’s a transcript that explains it:
