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...
