It's a bit early
But then I don't know how big your nation is on the whole Christmas thing!

Ridiculous, really.
People usually wait until after Thanksgiving, which is another two weeks from now.
But I want it up.
The roommate said it's weird and she called me a Creepy McCreeper.

i don't really do christmas,
but i do like seeing people enjoy it.
i'm not sure that it is time to start celebrating nearly a sixth of the year away from christmas though.

I try to hang on for as long as possible before succumbing to any Christmas spirit.
I usually manage right up to Christmas eve.

I've managed to avoid the Christmas spirit for the last 20 years.

It's only because of my nephew and young sister that I succumb at all Jeff.
I mainly get excited because I have the week off.

Also I'm a little bit excited because I'm going to buy that fluffy toy squirrel for Biscuit and Benji : )

Class.
I went down the route of getting 24 cans of Stella and putting numbers on the top of the cans.

That was back in the day when I didn't have to drive in the mornings.

I got it for my mom.
Last year.
I don't have one. That was the first time one has ever been at my parents house.

Get someone over here to post you one.

It's mainly for kids to help them count down to Christmas day.

My sister confuses her kids by telling them the second on the month is really the first
It's a month-long ruse to try and get a Christmas say lie-in with the kids thinking Christmas day is actually Christmas eve.

the joy of christmas is the day, and the few days after

hmmm...not to me
the day itself isn't usually all that special, preparing for it is awesome though, spending time with the roomdooms decorating the tree, decorating at my moms, watching christmassy films, that's the fun stuff before hand
but when the day comes it's all over, and that is sad

I borked my bike on Monday
so I've had to drive to work yesterday and today; they already have the christmas jingles on the ads on local radio. Christmas lights are up as well (but not on) around town. It kind of pisses me off, but equally the massive german Christmas market starts next week, and I'm well excited for that. Meh, maybe I'm just a hypocrite. I do like Christmas though, but only after 14th December or thereabouts.
(berk, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 20:02, Reply)

That's around when I start feeling Christmassy
like, ten days or thereabouts before, where I can go "Oooh, it's Christmas next (whatever)". Before that I just grumble about the commercialisation of the holiday.

Edit: It's my birthday three weeks before Christmas and I do let myself feel a little Christmassy after that.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 20:08, Reply)

Many many years
of working at WHSmith over the Christmas holidays has kind of deadened me to the commercialisation of it all; if I'd gotten angry about it (as I do a little now) when it was constant 24/7 tinsel and Paul McFuckingCartney on repeat I would have developed some sort of tic and/or gone on a murderous rampage.
It makes me exploderous with rage when there's Christmas stuff in the shops in August, but as long as I avoid it until December, I'm still as excited as a kid then.
(berk, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 20:13, Reply)

Seeing as I love Poundshops, there's always Christmas stuff in there.
In September there were advent calendars next to Easter eggs. But that's poundshops for you.

Exploderous, fantastic.
Christmas music has been getting on my tits for about ten years. I reckon I might be getting a bit exploderous myself by my sixties.

But it's only wafer thin...
see, the thing is, right...I actually quite like Christmas music. But only when it's my choice to listen to it. When it's on in shops and on the radio and stuff, it irks me.

Like I said
if I avoid it all as much as possible until mid-December, then I get all giddy and festive. If I have it inflicted on me before that, I just get grumpy.

What? No.
Not for another month yet. In the meantime I'm going to have to suffer through high street decorations, shelf after shelf of the cheap gift tat that comes out at this time of year(if a marmite themed toast rack is a gift worth giving, it would be available in summer) and the interminable horror of Christmas shop music.

Don't get me wrong, I like Christmas. I just like it at its proper time of year and not in Uxbridge, where Christmas apparently means chucking 15 square miles of gaudy shite over the already unpleasant town centre, whilst the short term seasonal shops open up filled with depressingly povvo-spec decorations.

In my home town, it's actually rather nice.
