The season begins when folk start talking about it.

The joy begins when the shops shut on Christmas Eve.

When I manage to catch the Delia Christmas, it's always the one where she cooks a ham. (Flipping fascinating for a vegetarian )


It all begins when I hear "Fairytale of New York" (Pogues) in a shop or on the radio,

[NewYorkDeli]

[Oldraver]

Mmm not sure it varies.

I did manage a sneaky peruse of the Christmas decorations at a poncey Garden Compnay centre under the guise of looking for a plant.

[NoComet]
