I see Sky Movies have their Christmas channel up and running. And the local Woodies (the Irish equivalent of B&Q) have their christmas stock (trees, lights, decorations etc) up on their shelves. It is november 3rd.
 
September here.

Fucking shops with aisles full of tat.
 
I was watching Gogglebox last night and in the break a big dec 25th ad was on
Hate it all,i lock the doosr eat choc and watch footy and job done till new year,thats what i do
 
At 00:01 on the 26th December.
 
For us it's from the 1st December. That's when we put the decorations up and start the build up to Christmas.
 
Properly

December 25th until 6th Jan


Most people start of December


Though with consumerism as soon as easter ends
 
Other half is Canadian; so, apparently, it starts after Haloween in our house. I guess it kind of makes a bit more sense over there because that's generally when it starts snowing, but here it's still sunny and mild so it just feels wrong.

Today I had to fight very hard to stop her putting the tree up. She wasn't happy. Am I being unreasonable? I just think that if it goes up now I'll be sick of the sight of it come December 1st (which is when I think it should start, and the earliest).
