The time between Christmas and New Year's Day is by far the weirdest time of the year. Many people are on vacation, cooped up with their families in a different state, eating cookies and drinking eggnog. It's too late in the year to actually try to do anything meaningful. The organizing structure guiding human existence has collapsed, and time becomes immaterial. Have wine at 10 in the morning! Eat a roast ham for breakfast and nap at 11! Fall asleep at 4 in the morning. Who cares! "Betwixtmas," aka "the Festive Perineum," is like the Daylight Savings Time hour that doesn't count, and unstuck from time, Twitter has lost it.






Other, stranger humans tweeted about loving the peace they'd found in this wild time.


And then there's folks like yours truly who are dealing with a bizarre vacation schedule where we basically have to show up for work for a couple days and then get another holiday break.



May your Festive Perineum be merry and bright, folks.
