Great blog.
It was always the first Sunday in December, but I have to admit to getting earlier and earlier every year. I notice others doing the same. My theory is that Christmas is a break from the bleakness of reality, and as things in the world get more and more messy then people inevitably look towards any escapism they can get! I’m all for putting the decorations up whenever you want to. If it brings you joy then why the heck not. 🙂
the first of december
When I first have a day off work in December, I like to be festive and drink baileys while I’m decorating!
