    it's gotta be when my whole family is in the house again, which gets later and later every year so this year itl be around the 21st! then we can fight over decorations (which probably wont go up until the 23rd/24th) and the right recipe for the christmas cakes and generally laze around watching mindless t.v

    Christmas in my house is not allowed start til the 15th of decemebr at the very earliest..... my birthday is the 14th!! So we usually put the tree up the weekend after but i think its going up a little early this year since the 14th is a monday so it would leave putting the xmas tree up very late this year!

    I can honestly say the first tinsel feeling shiver goes down my spine when I hear the first bell of the Guinness Christmas Ad, whether its on the radio or TV

    Three things that have to happen for me before I realise that it is Christmas.

    1- I have to hear The Fairytale Of New York (done)
    2- I have to see that Coca-Cola "Holiday's are coming" ad (done)
    3- I have to see that Corn Flakes ad. You all know the one.

    For me it's when I finish up with work. I don't have to go in between christmas eve and 2nd January so it's my longest holiday of the year.

    Starts around the 8th december in our house.
    We have a tree in the kitchen another in sitting room one outside the frony door and decorations everywhere.
    I love when friends call because their kids are in awe --we have been collecting decoraions since 1990.
    I know its a bit sad but we love it:)
