    I dont think its too bad to have festive things in teh shops in the month of December, people are doing their shopping then.

    But bout a week or two before it gets really cool.

    Or when decorations go up at home.

    In college we had our Xmas ball last night, so that was kinda Xmas-y. Had a hat on and all.

    The minute Coke show the Christmas ad or failing that, when the toy show is on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Steve_o


    The Coca Cola ad with the lorries signifies the start of Christmas!!!

    After work finishes on Christmas Eve?

    It's when I get all my shopping done anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭j22


    After these stupid exams finish on December 16th. Oh such a session we will have. Semesterised exams as the worst thing ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 440 ✭✭Angels


    i think December 1st, thats when it really begins (all the shopping anyway)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 270 ✭✭Katykaboom


    for me when I see the coca cola adds me makes me all fuzzy in my tummy, but technically when advent begins on december the 1st.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs

    Today, national welly boot shopping day!

    This (8th Dec) always marked the start of festivus in our house.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    When the Coke ad gets shown!


    Or twelve days before Christmas.

    Begins after mass on Xmas eve when we all head into the local for a session of pints to meet up and talk about year gone past. Funny when you leave church and walk straight into pub down the road abit and the whole church is coming after you. There is always a bust for the bar:D

    for me it starts on December 21st. the whole shopping thing on the weeks leading up to it is a nightmare, absolutely despise it
    Today, national welly boot shopping day!

    About the middle of December. I've got too many friend/family birthdays to deal with before then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Sparkle


    I think Dec 8th is when it kicks off for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭Diarmsquid


    8th of December I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    Have Pennies had a whole lot of things for Christmas yet? If not, then not yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Feenikusu


    Either 1st of December, when you open the first door of your Advent calender, or 1st Advent.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 4,436 Mod ✭✭✭✭Suaimhneach


    Oh god we've been programmed by Coke~a~Cola to only feel Xmassy when their ad comes on!

    WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS WITH NO TEEVEE!

    Since my house mate put up our Christmas tree yesterday, its christmas as far as I'm concerned.

    December 8th is a good rule to go by though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    December 25th, every year. Jesus, I thought people would know that one!

    Whenever we get a christmas tree/decorations up. And the coke ad on tv.

    ie. not october.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    The Coke ad.

    'Holidays are coming, holidays are coming'...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,805 ✭✭✭Setun


    Ah damned Coca cola, sad that our christmas calender has been reduced to this.

    I'd say whenever you get that xmas-y feeling when you realise that you're gonna get some time off to relax a bit.
