But across the road from me a new neighbor moved in and when I go outside to drink my coffee I look over and his house is light up with Christmas stuff the whole house is one big neon lights. The guys an idiot but if it makes him and his wife happy then theirs no argument I suppose.
Growing up in the northern hemisphere, I dont think I could deal with Xmas in the summer......

Holy crap!, I thought our family was the only one with the ceramic christmas tree. For the last 10 years I lived at home as a kid, that's all we had.

That brought back memories.

This is our tree. Sorry for the bad image quality. In true Christmas style the bottom half of the lights on the tree stopped working two days after we put it up!

Is that customary where you live?

I ask because Santa comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas). Children here traditionally put their shoes in front of the fireplace, with a carrot or some straw in it for Sinterklaas' horse. At night Sinterklaas or one of his helpers descends into the chimney and replaces the carrot with small presents (usually candy).

Certainly was in my part of the country and the rest of the UK as far as I am aware.

I remember in the early nineties when I was living in Dordrecht.......didn't christmas (or some part of it) get celebrated somewhere around Dec 5th?

December 5th is the Sinterklaas holiday:DL
Christmas is on December 25th/26th as usual, but apart from christmas dinners we don't really celebrate it. We do the present giving at "Sinterklaasevening" on December 5th. Also Sinterklaas looks a bit like Santa (Santa's an " Americanized" Sinterklaas).
