‘Christmas’ is about the Sun.

The shortest day or Winter Solstice is 21st December but that date is neither the latest Sunsirse nor the earliest Sunset of the year.

The earliest sunset is around 12th December (3.49pm) and the latest Sunrise is around 3rd January (8.24am) - that is the ‘Christmas’ season.

25th December is the date which the Sun first noticeably moves on the horizon at Sunrise, after the Winter Solstice. The 25th December was called the dies solis invicti nati or ‘day of the birth of the unconquered sun’, in Roman times.

There’s no reason for the Christmas season to be any more than ~12th December to ~3rd January.

I think it’s fine to feel Christmassy once Halloween is out of the way.

We don’t put our decorations up until the second week of December though, mainly because a few years ago I got all giddy and bought a tree on 1st December. It died, and like a psychopath I had to take it to the tip on the day before Christmas Eve and buy a new one as we had my folks coming round for Christmas lunch and my mum is the kind of person who would definitely point out a sub par half dead Christmas tree.

I wonder what the blokes who worked at the tip thought, who’s this nutter throwing away a Christmas tree on the 23rd December…

And for those of you with Fake Plastic Trees, shame!!!

I am all for full Christmas go from 1st December just not before. Once the advent calendar is up that’s fine. Decided to put our decs up that day as it’s only until 1st January when they all come down again

Christmas Markets are the only vendors in Manchester who sell black beer at any time of the year.

How no establishments have cottoned on to the fact that drinks like Guinness Original XX are better than any lager or beer going and that Guinness is not just the fizzless stout its famous for (which is what I drink the rest of the year), I’ll never know.

I always have a nice few scoops of the black beer at the markets.
