Christmas When You Were Growing Up

[George 1978]

Most of the shops have put decorations or a tree up - Heart Xmas started around a month ago, and some of the movie channels on Sky around the 312-319 mark have had Christmas films on since September. And now it has been snowing outside!

It made me think: "should I, or shouldn't I get the Christmas tree out just yet, or shall I wait another week?"

Some people seem more Christmas mad than I ever remember, going overboard and early with decorations. Halloween seems to have become such a major event for some as well.

I think this year I could get into the spirit more than usual, but feeling a bit more worn out than other times my parents are the opposite and say they just want to go to a casino on the day (which they've never done before). Don't know what you've got until it's gone... I suspect we've had our last traditional turkey and spouts dins. Last year nobody even bothered with pressies.
