I love a Christmas tree and I like to have them up for as long as possible, to brighten the Winter darkness and keep us feeling cosy, but I'm not sure I'm anywhere near being close to being ready to get it out of the attic and decorate it.
I'm just not in the mood yet, and I don't really want to force it.
Christmas is a state of mind, not a date, and my brain just hasn't kicked into that festive mode yet. I'm still wishing it was beach weather and pining for evening barbecues, I'm not ready to embrace the onset of Winter and accept that it's almost Advent.
I know I'll get there eventually. It may even happen when we're well into December and only see me Full-On Christmassy for a fortnight. It may even hit me as late as Christmas Eve, when I'm sorting presents for the little ones and not having to think about work for a week or so. Part of me feels disappointed, but part of me isn't too bothered. It will happen when it happens, it will be what it will be, and in the meantime I'll just get on with life and continue to be annoyed by the incessant onslaught of Christmas adverts that seem to be plaguing the airwaves, channels and internet.
