When does Christmas officially begin for you?
 

Some say it begins when they have see the Coca Cola advert. Others when they have the tree up.

Mine is when we have bought the tree (which will be today) and that lovely smell of pine it gives to the lounge. I also love the Christingle & Crib service in Church.

i think for me it starts when i go somewhere further away to do some last minute christmas shopping, going to York in the next couple of weeks, that will really set me off

When I finish work for the hols I think, thats when you know that you can drink, eat and sleep in!!!

Also panic buy because you always forget something and doing the food shopping in the middle of the night coz its nice and quiet!! :D

I'm not too sure........I buy next years Christmas cards and wrapping paper in the January sales.......I buy presents through out the year....this helps ease the financial strain........I start the wrapping of presents late October/November.......I am in the process of writing cards now.......I have found that as I have matured(got older) it is less easy to get into the Christmas spirit.
I suppose Christmas proper, starts on Christmas Eve with the cooking preparations.

Food & Drink Innovation Network POT NOODLE LAUNCHES CHRISTMAS DINNER

Re: When does Christmas officially begin for you?
 

I think my husband would think me a very poor wife if I gave him a pot noodle for his Christmas dinner......and although I don't think it will be Turkey, we will have a roast of some description......so there will be sprouts to peel, carrots to cook, stuffing to make, plates to warm...you know the kind of thing.
Hang on though...if you are having just a pot noodle perhaps you don't!

Re: When does Christmas officially begin for you?
 

I am going round to me Mum & Dads so me Dad will be doing the peeling and pre-paring the night before and me Mum will be cooking it!!! :D

Re: When does Christmas officially begin for you?
 

That's good Heth...at least the work will be shared!

Re: When does Christmas officially begin for you?
 

Thats what I thought Margaret, with reference to your other thread I am looking after the elderly!!!! :D

I do appreciate it though and my Mum loves it when we spend it together, thats what the days for after all! :)
