flist friday (on a saturday): getting ready

[erychan86]

Hello flist!

So December is now here! I want to say I'm sorry in advance, because all my December questions are probably going to be Christmas related!

What I want to know on this flist Friday is basically when do you start getting ready for Christmas...

When do you start getting your home Christmas ready as in trimming the tree, putting out decorations...?
When do you start looking for presents?
What is your favorite thing to do that you only do during December?

Also:
[Poll #2058887]

When do you start getting your home Christmas ready as in trimming the tree, putting out decorations...?
The rule here is hat you have to wait until the 8th of December to trim the tree so I have to wait and the waiting is killing me! I've been wiating for 5 years to trim that damn tree at my parents! (On the boat I was making paper trees for me and Eric, bu we were too tired to celebrate since we were working like slaves on Christmas Eve and Day)

When do you start looking for presents?
I start thinking about presents in October and I go out buying them on the first week of December

What is your favorite thing to do that you only do during December?
Trimming the Tree... 5 years... FIVE YEARS! The waiting is almost over... Come to mama!!!

Sorry to say I won't be answering these questions much because I don't celebrate the holiday! It's okay though.

No problem! Can I ask you why you don't celebrate? You don't have to answer!

I don't mind answering- I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and we don't celebrate because most customs come from pagan origin. There are other reasons, but our website may answer them better for you: https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/why-not-celebrate-christmas/
