if it were up to me Christmas decoration would be put up on December 23 at the earliest. I refuse to eat any Christmas related sweets until the first advent. Also, Last Christmas is the worst song in the world and if played I will leave the room immediately

Agreed except sweets... like last year we won't be at home therefore no tree, no decorations...

@Chap the worst part is to say no to the Quarkstollen

Oh yes! With marzipan! And the Lebkuchen!!

@scooter let me add that anyone who wants to decorate their house mid-August is more than happy to do so. Live and let live.

And don’t tell anyone, but we have the tree up sooner as well because we spend Christmas at the in-laws and parents and my wife wants to enjoy the festive spirit at home too

@Chap your Xmas tree looks a little wonky.

[Matt]

We started doing a tree on Black Friday but some of us are still recovering from the first round of fall cold/covid/flu so we went yesterday.

That's Austria we decorate old apple trees with tons of mistletoe

[Matt]

That sounds nice. I should get some mistletoe for the house so I can trick momma into making out with me.

@goosehd Dennis has dyed his beard

I thought it was Laura.

@Chap …my beard looks more like that every day. At least it feels that way.

Looks at me. I am surprised no one tried to hire me as Santa yet

It may be silly, but currently watching James Bond. One of the TV stations in the US used to play a different Bond movie every night leading up to Christmas and we’ve continued doing the same…

We embrace the cold and winter. Fires and warm lights, warming drinks and beef wellington for Christmas dinner.
