What do you call the last Friday before Christmas?

[purplepoppy]

The last Friday before Christmas is often referred to as "Mad Friday" or "Black eye Friday" in the UK. It's a night when many works Christmas parties are held and it's one of the busiest nights of the year for the police and hospitals.

It goes under other names, break up Friday, factory Friday, fuckme Friday etc. But Mad Friday and Black eye Friday are by far the most common. So what do you call it?

Black eye Friday

Mad Friday

Something else

I retired in June, all days cease to have special value any more.

Friday is just "Day 5", Saturday/Sunday are Days 6 & 7, aka "Days not to go shopping as it gets a bit peopley" - the whole week is just a succession of non-working days that I have to fill with hobbies and relaxing 😌

I call it "just another work day". I always seem to be swamped in December making it hard to get into the Christmas festivities. January is usually slow, and then it picks up again in February as the businesses release their budget money for the year.

Yes, i remember that. I used to always wonder what I would do if the business never came back in the spring.

We call it "Last Friday before Christmas" and use it as an excuse to have an awesome party. Same with Saturday and prolly Sunday too. 🎄

In the US, there's no special name, just The Friday before Christmas, unless...

If Christmas is on Saturday, it would be Christmas Eve.

it used to be the day when the panic would set in that there is so much left to do and not enough time to do it.
