My mom used to let us break out the Christmas albums after Halloween. She couldn't hold us off any longer.
This year I have tried to avoid listening TOO early just so I really get in the groove during the actual season. I haven't had it on the all-Christmas radio station,which switched over the weekend after Halloween this year. But this weekend it's starting to feel right, so I'll probably jump whole-hog into it. And of course Black Friday is Clark Griswold day, when me and Russ...er...I mean Andrew deck the halls and kill our Electric bill.

but we have just had Guy Fawkes night November the 5th lots of fireworks let off,have been getting the Christmas gifts,i started that in September,so sort of in the spirit,we have an advent calender out on the 1st of December,so slowly building up for Christmas day,the tree and lights go up around 12 days before the big day. (superstitions i guess,with the 12 days of Christmas).I have always been like this,tree comes down 12 days after too.
Christmas music is the only thing I truly hate about X-mas, love all the rest tho
It's tradition, Dave. When I was a kid, my dad was a cheapskate. He waited until Xmas Eve to get the tree, and would usually get a 6-footer for like $2. My mom hated this, as did the rest of my family. But to me, it just made Xmas Eve that much more magical. As an adult, it just seems wrong to put it up any sooner. And I don't like decorations up too long. They lose their specialness that way. (for me, anyhow)
