    Yes tinkerbell - I love going to our local garden centre, its fantastic at Christmas. Their displays are normally ready mid october as they also sell fireworks etc.

    Now September is here and the mornings are actually that little bit darker and its getting dark around 8.15pm I know Christmas isnt that far away.

    We are off to find some Conkers tonight in the park and then after that its time to sit down and book our activities for our Winter Break to Centerparcs in December - cant wait!!!

    Autumn may be here but I sense the stores are holding back on their Christmas offerings in the hope of making the most of the good weather and getting the 'back to School' merchandising out of the way.

    In contrast to last year there have yet to be any tabloid reports of towns putting up their Christmas lights ridiculously early.

    Our local garden centre are advertising that their Christmas grotto will be opening as usual in early October, when it does I will share their web link with you, you'll find it a treat!

    So all in all I feel that things are on the tipping point, but not starting to tip yet...
    So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
    Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
    Driving his reindeer across the sky.
    Don't stand underneath when they fly by.

    I think my feelings are going higher and higher when nights are going darker and darker. (Yes, here sun is not getting down in summertime so nights are bright) Now i start burn candles and maybe listening christmasmusic and making presents.

    Wow, what's that like? Do you get tired of it? Are those the "white nights"? Does your body need time to get used to it?

    Yes, those are these white nights. Specially midsummer, then sun is not falling at all. Becouse of brightness we have a black-outcurtains in sleepingroom so we can sleep well.

    So we have two extremitys: summer and winter. In middlewinter (christmastime) sun is not rising at all.
