how does the fact that other people start celebrating earlier than you affect your own feelings towards it?

christmas through you life goes like this

child - brilliant, father christmas, presents - pure excitment
early teenage years - bit crap, the magic has gone, getting dragged round relatives houses etc
late teenage years - brilliant again, **** ups, pub crawls pure indulgence

just when it starts to get a bit dull, you have your own kids and it all starts again.

all in christmas is fb

Just waiting on some dresses coming from ebay for my nieces and thats me all sorted.

I hate doing christmas cards though, spend a fortune on something that lasts a week if most.

My missus went into Wilkinson's last week and they were selling boxes of 40 cards (with up to 16 different designs) for £1 \o/

I like my cards to be pretty Just vanity over money again.
