In my family, Christmas was always a very special time, made more so by the unbridled excitement of my younger sister Lin. I have always loved the decorations and the music, the food and the presents so I am fairly sure that I am not a Humbug. But I don't put up any decorations or the tree until a week, maybe 10 days before Christmas at the earliest.
I am tempted of course, but I can't help but think that it would be torturous for my young daughter to build up her expectations and then make her wait another month for the big day to arrive.
Am I strange to want mince pies at Christmas, and not the rest of the year?
Am I odd to want to hear Christmas carols at Christmas, and not for 2 months before?
Am I peculiar to want my Christmas tree to be special, and not something that I need to dust and hoover under?
