    when the tree goes up, usually the second week in December. There won't be a tree this year and I've pretty much cancelled Christmas. I'm sort of looking forward to it.

    no kid this year :(
    I usually spend the Christmas with family but not really bothered about it now. It is and always was for the children and don't feel like getting in the humour for it without her around to share it with. It will be my first Christmas alone though so in someways I'm curious to how it's going to go, might be fun. :)
