It's Christmas time!

[Gardenia]

Over here, all the christmas shit started appearing in stores in late september.
For me, christmas starts as soon as the delicious pinnekjøtt hits my frontal face hole on December 24th. Aside from all the good food, I really don't care for christmas.

When I see my yard covered in snow. And I get back home from college.

 

[Undeed]

Christmas starts, at it's very earliest, the day after Thanksgiving. It runs, at it's very latest, to January 6th.

 

[Froobyx]

Christmas starts when I put the decorations up. Usually around the 15th of December. But I might do them a bit earlier this year

It annoys the crap out of me though when people put their christmas decorations up in November. Same with towns turning on the lights.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Nnnnnnnnno. You're at least four weeks early. Make it five, just to be sure.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

It starts and ends when I get my presents.

 

[CK76]

The season starts 24 December 00:01, ends 24 December 23:59.

I haven't looked but are you from Czech Republic by chance?

That's a lie, I'd love to live in Iceland... But not in December!

Why not in December?.Traditionally it's 12 days but it's only celebrated over 4 days.And you get to legally shoot fire works on new years eve.

A few reasons...

1) I'll better avoid the Christmas hype.
2) It's cold enough as it is, screw going in winter.
3) In the UK you can fire off fireworks anytime of the year... Well I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get arrested for it.
4) If there are hot (female) mountain guides I'll ignore all of the above and come...

1)It not all that hyped here in Iceland.
2)It only goes down to about -15 celcius when it's coldest.
3)Can´t beat that.
4)There are hot female everything here in Iceland.That includes mountain guides.

i haven't seen the coca cola advert on tv yet, so i don't feel christmasy

 

[Psypherus]

Christmas starts in the evening on the 24th and lasts for 24hours for me if my family gets lucky that year. Most years I just ignore the fact it's christmas as I'm not christian.

Minus 15? Only? Yeah some places are colder still... That's cold...

I hear Iceland is actually a really good place to live actually. It either has the lowest or the happiest people per 1000 or something like that?
If your female population is good then I don't see why there'd be problems. Plus you have those nutters that drive cars across water don't you? That's awesome...

I'm not a fan of the family gatherings but I, for one, love Christmas. I like the music and I like decorating. So there! Bwaha!

I usually wait until after Thanksgiving (though, I will listen to Christmas music through November). Once December starts, I decorate how I please. I definitely have a Christmas tree. I've had it since I was in high school.

 

[RanD00M]

There are more women then men here so i guess that's a plus in your books.

Plus you have those nutters that drive cars across water don't you?

Why yes.Yes we do.We also have nutters that ride snowmobiles over water.

 

[Randomologist]

...most of you seem to hate holidays for reasons I can only presume take you away from your computer for too long.

I hate it because everyone is so bloody cheerful and smiley, it makes me sick. Blaaarg.
Er no, actually I do like Christmas. Consumption of mince pies and mulled wine will remove all your other, lesser earthly desires.

For me it always starts when the brass band down town starts up a Xmas number. Yes, it's 1909 in Wales

I could have easily have said "when it starts raining and Woolies decorate", but oh wait.

 

[Smudge91]

Christmas doesn't start till december 1st. Although i swear the stories are having christmas decorations up earlier and earlier.

 

[The_Echo]

Christmas starts on the 1st of December for me. Its hte days the tree, cards, crackers, calenders etc go up. I hate it when people put up their decs and stuff up during October and November.

Same here. It's only the middle of November, and my city is acting like Christmas is a week away. I'm sick of all this holiday cheer already.

I'm so going to Iceland for a holiday... Any good ruins there? I heard there's no trees in Iceland either, well no forests at least?

 

[Wadders]

No. No it's not. Its not Christmas in fucking November.

I'll know when it's Chirstmas because my local store will have a fucking hideous life size model of santa next to the entrance, that sings the most obnoxious Xmas songs at you as you walk around the shop.

I'll know it's Christmas because my bank balance will plummet as I buy unwanted presents for family and friends.

I'll know it's Christmas when I'm miserable and people will say to me: "hey Luke, cheer up, wheres your Christmas spirit?!" and I reply "you can take yer christmas spirit and shove it up your ass ".

None of those things have happened yet.

Fucking Christmas my arse. We dont even get any snow anymore

As you can tell, I love Christmas.

No need to kill the holiday spirit for the rest of us...

Actually, there is. I make it my mission at this time of year

I'm a dedicated scrooge

Nahh, Christmas is alright, it's just the whole "lets start putting xmas songs on the radio and put decorations up and have xmas adverts on the tv, even though its halfway through november" thing really gets my goat.

Christmas is ok, but to me it's not really any more special then say, Easter. Maybe I'm just bitter 'cos we never get any Christmas snow where I live

 

[Lexodus]

I'm really not looking forward to Christmases any more. The market sucks the fun out of it with all the shameless profiteering.
