Celebration evening

Celebration-evening. The German word for the end of the working day, and there is no English equivalent because English has no word for the thing.

Ich mache Feierabend — I am making Feierabend — is a complete sentence and a complete explanation. The day’s work is over, and what follows is not called leisure or free time. It is called a celebration.
