Not long ago all thoughts used to turn to Christmas from about mid Dec until New Year. Now it starts in friggin October en masse and lasts until the 25th then it's forgotten about suddenly in the scramble to start the summer holiday season, valentines day, Easter or whatever other commercial bulldust they can ram down our throats.

What happened to the 12 days of Christmas ? People are sick to the back teeth of it before it even gets to the day that's what !!!

Humbug indeed :P

You can still do it properly yourself though. We've always started Christmas after my son's birthday on the 4th Dec. We used to have sweets in shoes on 5th Dec night for St Nicholas, then school Christmas fair was the Friday after that usually and broadly speaking we still stick to those dates. We never start before advent starts anyway. It's hard to fight over commercialism but you have to do it your way.

Well into Advent (the traditional Christian build-up to Christmas) is too early?

After living in North America a December start is a relief. They roll from one event to the next with almost no breaks. The lights are on in most homes around thanksgiving and the shops start in October. Madness.

Anyway my tree is up.

As much as I agree, the FA Cup final isn't less than 3 weeks away. Christmas is!

I admit I'm a properly big BIG fan of Christmas, mind. Certainly never 'start' until Advent, as gumboots mentioned.
