Annopause Edit Meaning

1.

The uncomfortable few days between Christmas and the New Yearwhen nothing seems to happen. The old year is dead; the new one hasn't begun. Everyone else is on holiday, televisionis showing older re-runs than normal, and the shops are either shut or crowded.

The kids' presents needed batteries, but everywhere seemed to be closed for the annopause.

See holiday, graveyard shift, downtime, weekend
