What's the time between xmas & new years eve called in your country?

The word romjul comes from the Norse rúmheilagr meaning "which does not have to be kept strictly holy"

My language, Dutch, doesn't have a word for that, but we do have a "second Christmas day", an "old year's day", and of course, a "new year's day".

Sweden has "mellandagarna", meaning "the inbetween days". It's a time for working, partying, going on holiday, planning new years party, resting up after Xmas and eating leftovers. Oh, and there's a big sale of stuff that didn't sell for Xmas.

@anthracite, second Christmas day (2e Kerstdag) is what some countries call Boxing Day. Old year’s day (Oudjaar, Oudejaarsdag, Oudjaarsavond) is New Year’s Eve.

When I was a kid, I thought the «rom» in romjul meant «rom» as in outer space. I was so confused why we called it Outer-space-christmas, but figured it had something to do with the bethlehem star
