Oh, I have found my people! ASD here, although likely ADHD too, DD also autistic and H likely ADHD. My autistic side, which craves order and routine, takes president in late November, meaning that by the 1st of December, the tree is up, the house is decorated, and most of the presents are bought.
That is it, though. The novelty is gone, and I can't bring myself to do the rest. No cards have been sent here, but thanks to the Hyperfixation Pixie (love that!), all of the gifts were wrapped yesterday and placed into bags, etc.
Haven't bought any actual food for Christmas Day but we have a treat table laden with chocolate and snacks 😋 H bought a lovely looking rib of beef a few weeks back which is in the freezer so we could have that for Christmas lunch, although DD says she wants chicken... we celebrate Swedish Christmas on the 24th too, and I've actually got everything for that, at least.
It's only the 3 of us here for Christmas so we'll just do as we please but H does like a full on Christmas lunch, which he will happily cook, as long as we manage to get the food in... will head to shops over the weekend to get vegetables and brandy butter.
Cards, though, still sitting in box, haven't even bought stamps 😅
Until yesterday we had a 'decorative' black bag, full of clothes meant for the charity shop, taking centre place in the living room. It had been left there by H a few weeks ago, following a sudden urge to declutter, along with random boxes of 'stuff' and a collection of shoes that couldn't fit in the black bin bag. So our living room has been an exlectic a mix of a beautifully decorated tree, sideboards all swt out with candles and gonks etc sharing space with loads of clutter, random bits (tools, gardening bits, discarded amazon boxes) just left in various corners, on the floor and beneath every piece of furniture. Housebarrassment at it's worst. Luckily no guests this December!
