A numbness or loss of feeling in your toe(s) often
experienced by people who hike
continuously on steep terrain. A common condition/occurrence in the Silviculture industry (brushing and tree planting).
Planting typically takes place between May and September and
those who suffer from 'christmastoe' will often only regain feeling around Christmas: 4 - 6 months later.
Rookie: Man, this is
fucking weird, I haven't been able to feel my big toe for the last week. I think it's dead...
Vet: Don't worry dude, it's just christmastoe.
Rookie: What?
Vet:
The feeling will come back around
christmas...
**vet walks away from rookie**
Vet mumbles: ...fucking rookies.
Rookie mumbles: ...fucking planting.
