It's technically December in just a few hours but I'm still not feeling the Christmas love. Haven't even given it a thought! It somehow always comes together in the final moments doesn't it? I hope so! Your crochet is looking good!

Here in the US we seem to go directly from Halloween to Christmas and bypassing the most beautiful holiday this country ever invented.

I've bought Christmas cards and stuck them in a drawer. I've been making Christmas decorations and gifts. But I do NOT feel Christmassy yet! And lots of other people are saying the same thing. I think it is because we are being forced to feel like Christmas when it's far too early. How could we sustain the whole Christmas-thing from the start of November? We'd be demented! I really feel sorry for pepole who work in shops and are bombarded by it all day every day.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128828501166213335.post-89080392264994790202014-11-24T09:13:39.800+00:002014-11-24T09:13:39.800+00:00Your glasses are beautiful!

However, I am sure that it will all kick in when December comes and I am determined not become a Grinch about it so I will keep going. I hope that the same happens for you. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128828501166213335.post-34611405595859395362014-11-23T13:48:03.904+00:002014-11-23T13:48:03.904+00:00Nope, I'm not feeling it either, and I'm o...Nope, I'm not feeling it either, and I'm one of those people who absolutely loves Christmas.

When I was a child it didn't seem to start until about a fortnight before, now we get weeks of it before the big day and it's lost any magic it once had...for me anyway. Bah humbug.

I think we should move Christmas to January (The most depressing month!) and have November for bonfire night and stew and dumplings,December to get the cards and presents sorted then celebrate Christmas in the middle of January! Sorted!

They will be very cosy and autumnal I think. There is no reason for feeling Christmas as it is no where near yet! It's only the middle of November. When I'm out and about though I feel I am in the middle of a phony Christmas as it is everywhere - M&S playing 'White Christmas' the other day. It's terrible really. Christmas season is two weeks before Christmas at a pinch as Advent is not Christmas either, it's a time of waiting.<br />SusieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128828501166213335.post-42206560119089789312014-11-22T14:47:27.102+00:002014-11-22T14:47:27.102+00:00I'm waiting for a good hard frost too!
