Packing away Christmas

Today we have finally moved into the delights of packing away and clearing all the unsold Christmas stock. Earlier this week we recycled all our unsold Christmas trees and today we started to make way for the new seasons stock.
The centre looks really bare at the moment mainly due to the fact that none of our suppliers are back to work yet so no deliveries.
Does the whole of the Uk stop work over these two weeks ? leaving only shops and cafes open.
It does not seem that long ago when we only had Christmas and Boxing day off, but people expect to have an extended holiday over this period now. It makes it difficult for us as customers expectations have changed and expect us to have everything ready imediately after Christmas and for some people they want us to open every day except Christmas Day, how odd people view things today.
We wait in expectation of getting back to some form of normality next week, it will be interesting to see who of our suppliers are ready to get going and who have gone to the wall over the festive period.
