Dude, your behind the times. Seems that here it starts in August or September. The whole supercharged huge overblown marketing blitz in the guise of loving each other is obscene.

Very funny must get one. I hate the commercialisation of xmas thats why I spend it at my mates house. Id rather spend it with someone I like rather than with the rest of my family.

I agree, hence this year I opt out, instead I will celebrate the old pagan yuletide festival by engaging in 12 days (or however many I can scrounge off work) of intensive computer game playing, miniature painting, reading and generally enjoying myself and most importantly NOT WORKING :)

Being on the other side of the planet to all known relations means I can pretty much avoid them without any feelings of guilt. I will however miss my Mums christmas dinner, although given the current temperature a nice ice cold cocktail probably be preferable to a roast dinner anyway :D

nah, even in the middle of the forty degree heat that seems to typify christmas here (its either that or its pissing down rain...canberra has really funny weather), i\'d rather have my mum\'s roast. albeit washed down with a cold beer
