When does Christmas start for you?


Well, this seems a topical question!

I don't do any decorating/present wrapping etc until after 6 Dec. This is sort of historic because it's Katie's birthday. Being lumbered with a xmas day birthday myself I know how it can get 'lost' - so when Katie was little we always ensured her day was over before xmas began.

However, going back even further than that, OH and I look at each other, raise our glasses and say 'yup, it's really the christmas season now' on the Sunday thet the BBC broadcasts the Sports Personality of the Year . Just a family 'tradition' I suppose.

What about you?

Re: When does Christmas start for you?


I think a DW member is doing an advent calendar over there (Kazz put a link to it.....remember)
I'll volunteer for CP for 2006 when we're bigger (*wonder how big DW was a year ago....may go off and try to work it out*........... *is back* - no, it will give me a list but doesn't do an automatic count and I can't be bothered to count 27 pages worth!)

Re: When does Christmas start for you?


Got most of my presents - just the kiddies "Big" presents to get. Got some wrapping paper, got cards but still in their box. Cant get into it just yet. Probably feel more inclined to do stuff when it is December!
