I don’t know if it’s a universal expression in the English-speaking world, but over here, in New Zealand, this is called “The Silly Season”.
And why not? Enjoy!

A few of my friends and I have referred to it as the silly season, but I don’t know where we got that; I don’t hear it so called among the general populace.

Derrick will know… since we both use the phrase, Cynthia, it may very well be an expression used in the upper echelons of society. Sylvie uses it and she speaks French!

I drove through town on Boxing Day and was truly gob-smacked! I saw your music in action!! It took me twenty minutes to traverse a bit that would usually flash by in seconds due to the hordes of bag and box laden folk rushing from shop to shop ……….. Unbelievable! [And no-one looked happy either!!] It reminded me why I don’t go anywhere near the city centre unless I really, really have no alternative! 🙂

LOL! It’s your own fault for not stocking up on wine the day before!

I was simply citing the reason why I had to go into town myself. The man in the Liquor Store asked if I had a good Christmas. I said I wouldn’t need to buy more wine if I hadn’t enjoyed Christmas!

Our silly season is late summer when all the genuine toffs wot govern us piss off on holiday and the newspapers have to rake around in the muck to find something to report.

That’s very funny! We’re in that season at present over here – the newspaper reports all tell of things that could have been written months ago but made to look like today’s news!

I always thought it was because of the Christmas/New Year thing – but clearly it’s because of the summer vacation time!

Yep Silly Season is late summer. Now is Kipper season for the press. Dull flat reporting normally unless there is a tsunami.
