First Christmas Decorations?
When are we suppose to setup the tree? What is the right date to dig out the Christmas lights, and start decorating? Shops have been starting this earlier each year, or maybe it jut feels that way to me. I realize that they prepare people for the festive season early, and that by decorating a lot of people do their shopping well in advance, hence avoiding the rush. But September is just a bit too early, right? Logically I would say the 1st of December should be the official ‘Christmas countdown’.
When we start seeing all the decoration, we get into the whole holiday mood, and for myself, I don’t feel like work any more - after all ‘Tis the season to be jolly?’. Well I’ve been jolly since September now, and its starting to fade a bit.
I suppose Christmas will come quick enough. Next week being that last week of work for 2007 and all. But still. I need the Christmas festivities to wait just a bit longer before rolling out all the fancies!!!
Its like holding a carrot in front of a horse, and this horse is TIRED OF WAITING NOW!!!

Wow, snow flakes in South Africa.. in December! Funny how these northern hemisphere traditions trickle down south.
I always thought we “Northerns” decorated in December just to get our minds off of the shorter, cold and gray days. I couldn’t imaging doing Christmas festivities in Summer. There are just too many wonderful things to do when the sun is shining.
