For me, the Christmas season begins December 1st, when the kids eat the first chocolate in their Advent calendars. I buy my tree the first weekend in December. From there it is full-on Christmas until usually New Year's. But I don't go much for the commercial aspects anyway. In our home we do modest gifts and just try to do Christmas-y things together.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-9666800803847972582012-11-07T17:37:09.769-05:002012-11-07T17:37:09.769-05:00Yep!

I remember when my parents didn't put up our Christmas tree until a few days before Christmas. To me, that just makes the anticipation (and the event) that much sweeter. <br />Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-41739021422000771542012-11-07T16:34:22.438-05:002012-11-07T16:34:22.438-05:00I was at BabiesRUs today, buying a shower gift, wh...I was at BabiesRUs today, buying a shower gift, when I realized I was hearing that damn WHAM Xmas song about love gone wrong.

I can easily beat that. Down here in my Southern suburban Hell its easy to see Christmas items on display in mid-August.
