Thinking outside the box here why not campaign on changing it to Dec 2022?
How do we handle Christmas? Do we dig out last year's stuff and give it again?
Well no, I mean when we change the clocks back from daylight saving we don't feel compelled to repeat our actions of the previous hour.
Or do we? Is that what happens but I'm asleep and don't see everyone doing it?
I typically repeat my action of the previous hour (sleeping) when the clocks change and it sounds like you do too.
But if we suddenly made it December 2022 and I hadn't done any Christmas shopping, that would be an issue.
Good point.
You're right. I was trying to find a compromise where the people who want their holiday sooner get it and the people who want less time to pass also get their wish.
Maybe Dec 26 2022?
That's actually perfect (for me). Just wake up and there's no work and all these public holidays.
A nightmare to wake up and find it's suddenly boxing day if you work in retail though 😆
😀 people who turned 18 in 2023 would be pretty disappointed as well.
