In inland Australia it feels so hot you will melt into the ground. Christmas means extremely strong radiant heat.

I'm never in the "Christmas spirit". I could happily do without it all entirely.

I'm in the Christmas mood year round.

Once the week of buck season (shotgun) is over, always the 2nd week after Thanksgiving, I can put my toys away, and knuckle down and get serious about Christmas preparations.

After winter solstice. Watch Christmas Vacation.
Snow for the holidays is charming until Christmas...then it sucks.

Hasn’t snowed here in 20 years. We get serious about Christmas, probably 2 weeks before it gets here.

I dont have to assemble swingsets or plastic tricycles or doll houses at 2am anymore.
Christmas is all about late season deer hunting, making jerky, mrs slumlord making candy.
About 2 weeks before.
But...the wife and daughter put up the tree the day after Halloween this year

My day of celebration is the 21st. The Solstice . I get naked at midnight dance around a large outdoor fire. Curl up in a blanket with a bottle of cheap white mans whiskey and hope that tomorrows daylight is a little longer.

Do you need snow, cold, what puts you in "The Mood"? Shopping about Dec 23rd. A foul mood. Last couple yrs its been Grants and Franklins for Gifts from me to the wife and 3 daughters.

Usually a couple days before Christmas, I will sit down with the headphones on and listen to Handel's Messiah. The whole thing. Up until then, I try to ignore the whole circus.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
