When I first heard the term ‘Twixmas’ I genuinely thought it had something to do with the leftover chocolates in the Celebrations box, cause all the good ones had been eaten by Christmas day.

But no, this particular portmanteau refers to the gloriously lazy, hazy period of December 26 to Dec 30 – so we are slap bang in the middle of it right now, like little piggies in blankets.
