Far From Being A Bah Humbug

And, with so many daughters - 6 - of varying ages, Christmas is something that we as a family do thoroughly enjoy, however it does seems a bit mad at the moment that people are putting up trees and things.

It's still November. A tad early.

1st of December? That's when we attack that Christmas tree, start with the music - Mariah Carey's first Christmas album is a must. A classic! - whilst we do so.

Trying to keep that magic going is a lot of hard work, both for Santa (?!?) and for parents - and I always think less of a run up to the big day helps to keep that excitement and enthusiasm going into the big day itself.

It's always a loud, foody, drinky, gamey, fun time that we have (the wife is tea total) and I love it.

But let's just pick the right time to start, eh?
