According to the Urban Dictionary, zzzzzz is a way to show sleeping or tiredness in a cartoon or comic book. You’ve probably seen it yourself.
And that’s how a lot of you will feel after eating your big Christmas dinners followed by all that Christmas cake and coffee! 😉
Well, I hope you enjoyed my A – Z of Christmas vocabulary. Perhaps I should start writing about how to lose weight after Christmas or how to keep fit. Let’s see what my next topics will be. One thing I do know though, I’ll be going back to a wide selection of topics which I think might interest you. 🙂

I read that the Yule log was a large and very hard log (a big piece of wood) which was burned at Christmas. That was new to me. I know the Yule log as a traditional cake roll, covered in chocolate icing and decorated with sugared holly leaves.
I know that it’s too late to make it for Christmas this year, but if you don’t have anything better to do, you could make it for Boxing Day tomorrow! Try this recipe I found on the www.bbc.co.uk website.
Another tradition for some is to serve Yorkshire pudding with the Christmas turkey. You’ve probably got everything in the house if you’d like to make it tomorrow. But there’s nothing stopping you making it with your next Sunday roast! Try Marlene’s Yorkshire Pudding’s recipe here.

The Times, the Guardian and the BBC disapprove of the abbreviation “Xmas” (meaning “Christmas”). But is it really that bad? Something I learned today: the ‘X’ is thought to represent the Greek letter ‘Chi’, which is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Christos.
Whatever … I wouldn’t use the abbreviation in a business context!
Oh, before I forget: Have a Happy Xmas everybody! :))
