Cheers Brianwp.
Actually I should be turning my thoughts to Chanukah soon (the Jewish festival of Lights-think Diwali without all that noise!) It comes before Christmas but although we do both in this household, we've always had a tree up until mine and my sister's teens and we put decorations up because they brighten the room and they have nothing to do with the meaning of Christmas - We have a tradition that because my sister & brother in law & his mother come to us for dinner three days after Christmas Day(rarely Boxing Day now because they got to watch their team AFC Wimbledon) so we wait to open presents, but I do open some Christmas Day from friends.
I was out this morning and noticed a real chill in the air, not because it was windy this time but there is a real drop in temperature on the way-a sunny day but freezing cold and with the wind it made most of my extremeties cold-this is the sort of weather we should have had and now will have as we rush towards December. My favourite thing is stepping out on a cold yet crisp December morning and although we don't have White Christmasses in London, I would settle for a frosty one.
