See To Christmas

No, this man is not a psychic who can see what it’s going to be like at Christmas. This is not at all what the term applies to. The phrase is also used to talk about a woman wearing a skirt that could be a little longer. Maybe you’d like to think of a grandma scolding her mischievous granddaughter! She may tell the younger woman by saying she can “see to Christmas.” Next time, if you drop by her house, you may want to cover up some more!
