It’s a wonderful time of the year – Christmas Day, followed by Boxing Day, then followed by the Merryneum (not ours but a great term for the 3 Days off work between Boxing Day and New Years), and a great time to celebrate Official National Sloth Week.
Official National Sloth Week is one of the only times of the year where one can get away with excess, and not be labelled as some form of derelict, drunk or addict.
It usually combines three times more food than one would usually consume, and a large % increase of alcohol at a usually unsocial time that would get giant frowns at any other time of the year. But in National Sloth Week, it is overlooked and occasionally respected.
This celebration week also coincides with a massive amount of sport on TV, which won’t watch itself, and neither will that lounge nap on itself either. They are calling you for the Official National Sloth Week.
So join in, by doing absolutely nothing, slothing your way through another seven days of Official National Sloth Week.
