3 weeks?! If DS was off, then no wonder we never see Xmas trees. This feels odd. Suddenly I have a very convenient break dropped into my lap, since I just finished the last of my 1966 DVDs, but I think more are about to be sent, so I don't need the reprieve anymore!
Magnus, Lydia is referring to the fact that the Watching Project is taking three weeks off for the holidays:
Here is the Project schedule for the next three weeks:
The Watching Project is going on hiatus for the next three weeks. It will return on January 2nd.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Not that DS itself was off that long.
In fact, even though DS never once aired on Christmas Day, each year that it was on it did air on practically every other day in December, so there really is no reason that Christmas hardly ever came up on the show.
And as for the WP's holiday hiatus, it couldn't be more perfectly timed for you. I'm glad it works out the way it has.
