Probably because it's still three weeks away. I know the advertisers would have us believe it's upon us, just ignore them. Maybe a tipple of your favourite spirits will get you into the spirit.

In the past I have visited certain entertainment venues in Bangkok, where I can tell you I've seen a lot more than chocolate bars being inserted in places they were not designed for. :D

I start getting into it properly after Del's birthday on 13th December, which is when we put up the tree and make the house all nice and Christmassy... The feeling of getting into the Christmas spirit really kicks in though as soon as Del finishes work and is off for 2 weeks, which this year is 21st December - after which it's party time, and we start cracking open the booze and cooking all the lovely food we've bought!:partytime:

Sounds like a fab holiday, but did they have a waterpark? We'd need something to keep the grandkids entertained.

Yes I think that is plenty early enough - we would normally do the tree etc. about a week to ten days before, and take it all down on the twelfth night. I personally would de-trim sooner than that as I think after New Year is over it all starts to look a bit untidy.

On an unrelated note, my great love and best friend Mrs. Pony turns 50 today, and as a special treat I'm going to give her 24 hours of not taking the mickey out of everything she says and does - it's going to be a long day :eek:
