I'm AudioAl'sArbiterForPISHANTO.
I love both Christmas and wintertime, but right now I've got my 'summer head' on [nice weather, holidays, etc], so that's what I'm concentrating on!
That'll change in October, which is when I put my 'winter head' on, but until then, feck yer santa....

Well, given that we get together annually with two other couples for a Christmas some time in the middle of the year (it’s a long story...!) I must correct Al - in fact, it’s only 3 weeks until ‘Christmas’!
