When does Christmas START for you?

[Ned]

I've made such an impact.

I hope its positive.

You have all the impact of a feather pillow thrown by a 3 year old from five yards distance.

I think it starts on sunset Christmas Eve?
I know 6th Jan is Epiphany so 5th Jan is 12th Night?

Wikipedia

The Twelve Days of Christmas are (depending on differing authorities and sources) either the days from December 26 to January 6, (January 6 being the Epiphany), or the days from Christmas through the eve January 5 of Epiphany. Arguing in favor of the latter is that it coincides more closely with the liturgical Christmas season. However, the 19th century folklorist Sir James George Frazer, favors the December 26 - January 6 interpretation: The last of the mystic twelve days is Epiphany or Twelfth Night .

Agreed, just devalues the consumerism, which is the point of it all.

When I first hear "Fairytale of New York" on the radio. Which means it can start on Dec 1st or as late as Dec 25th, particluraly as I don't listen to the radio much! Heard it sunday morning, so xmas has officially begun for me

Christmas starts for me when I crack open my bottle of Cherry Brandy, settle back into my armchair in a darkened front room, and quietly admire the lights twinkling on the tree and the splendid decorations glistening in their reflected glory. I cast an indulgent eye over the cheerful christmas cards lining my mantlepiece from the people I care about, and bask in a satisfying feeling of warmth, wellbeing, and mild excitement at the days to come. Then I flex my fingers and have a fast, furious wank.

When the whole street gathers to peep in at the guy sitting in his front room with a cherry brandy!!!

[Curious Orange]

Christmas (by far my favourite pagan festival) starts when I give in to the temptation to buy a box of "deep filled" mince pies. This year that was last Friday.
