It may just be me missing things, but I've not noticed the usual
being thrown at us so early this year - I mean, it's 5 days to go, and I don't feel Christmassy at all.
- xmas songs since october
- as many houses covered in xmas lights
- xmas adverts (other than DFS)

There don't seem to be as many Xmas ads on tv this year either, you're right.
And it's a good thing.
There's just a general malaise about it all.
Isn't that, um, Christmas? Surely without Christmas, you wouldn't experience all those things in the first place? It's like saying "I don't give a hoot about Bonfire Night. All I care about is the fireworks and the bonfire."
I usually can't stand Christmas, but what with the snow, it seems far more Christmassy to me this year and I'm not so 'bah, humbug' about it.
I think the weather causing all kinds of problems and so many people being so ill with colds and flu have made people pretty apathetic to the whole thing.
Cant wait. I havent wrapped any presents yet, and i always feel christmassy when wrapping and exchanging presents.
Christmas is what you make it.
It is indeed.
There's nothing quite like Wintersday to warm your heart
I think they are all in the garden of the family that lives a couple of streets from me. I swear they couldn't have fit another bulb or decoration on that house if they were paid to!
I feel the same. Weird isn't it? It just doesn't feel christmassy, even if we've had more snow.
Yeah, its ironic really.
Snow on the ground doesn't actually feel very Christmassy
Someone should alert Alanis Morisette as it is a far better definition of irony than the ones in her song.
