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.

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.

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.

Ooookay.
It's the repetition that gets to me. Hearing the same old shit twenty or thirty times a year for the past twenty years

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.

I heard Driving Home For Christmas over 5 days of shifts in a shop to last me 20 years.

Sorry to read that.
It'll be the weekend before too long.

This is not likely to coincide with an improvement in things
