I love Christmas when it actually arrives but I don't want to know about it before December.
Before I had children I would put the tree up round about Dec 20th.....now I cave in to pressure and put it up round about Dec 12th.....I can't do it any sooner, I'd go mad!
I take it down on New Year's Day.
