I love the American tradition of the Christmas season starting at
Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving is in October, so that plan doesn't
work here. But I keep in sync with my American friends, pretty much,
by putting the tree up by the first Sunday in Advent, around Dec 1.
I was in San Francisco one year about this time of October and went to
a Christmas Store in Pacifica. The owner was going to decorate
someone's tree that night! Now that's early!
Looking forward to the joy, very much, this year.

You'd think if they're going to do that, they'd at least start a trend of
Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus costumes for Halloween :)

Yes, it is a shame that the "old" holidays are now blackholed. As my
daughter is Pagan, we still celebrate a few. Michaelmas, Samhein,
Summer Solstice, etc. as well as some traditional ones; Flag day,
Columbus day, Grandparents day. you get the picture. Christmas is more
commercial than religious around here, even tho we both like midnight
candlelight Mass. Easter is not a biggy here either, but i really
love Palm Sunday and the Passion reading,and of course, Thanksgiving
is our biggest holiday. This year we hope to have reservations at a
local Castle for dinner.
It's supposed to be haunted. I know, we're weird. LOL
