As a child I remember thinking that Christmas had started when the decorations and the tree went up. As a young married woman it started when we set off on our Christmas holiday visit to my in-laws in Devon (the best Christmasses ever). Nowadays it tends to start on Christmas Eve. In some ways it was easier when I was working because we had a works Christmas 'do' to get in the spirit of the season and then the holiday started when I finished work. I don't ever remember a time of relaxing and just doing Christmassy things that didn't require me to do a whole lot of organisation to make it happen.
