    Christmas decorations and music happen the month that Christmas happens, and not before.  We also leave them up until the day after New Years, because it's mah birthday.

    I danced in the Nutcracker for three years, but I've never actually seen a professional production of it - and THAT'S WHAT MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM J IS!  We're going to see the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's production, and I can barely contain myself.  He's getting all the sex for that one.

    I love the Seattle nutcracker- the Maurice Sendak sets and costumes. This is the last year for it, and I'm soooo sad! I'm sure they'll come up with something wonderful for next year, but I want my Sendak sets. I am being a terrible baby about it.

    I normally don't tolerate any form of Christmas until December 1, except for the occasional song because I CAN'T HELP IT. One full month of Christmas (cuz you know nobody's taking shit down before New Year). And then everyone has clear delineation. It doesn't need longer than a full month.

    NOW, that being said, I did plan on putting my outdoor lights up early, so I didn't have to risk my life doing it in the snow. I would NOT have turned them on until 12/1 though, just put them up. But it's ALREADY too damn late for that. Last year we had our first snow on Thanksgiving and it didn't melt til April, so I'm not too hopeful that this will turn out any differently.

    This doesn't apply to shopping. I'll buy all the shit all the time.
    (Gasps dramatically and clutches pearls) Don't you know it's bad luck to leave up the decorations through the new year?  That shit comes down the 27th in my house!
    No no no no no!
    This is why you haven't won the lottery! It's bad luck to take Christmas down before Epiphany. 

    So January 6th. And you're supposed to eat spicy food that day. Because of the Kings bringing spices. Pretty sure they didn't bring chili peppers, but we eat Mexican food that day. Because I love superstitions, and enchiladas. Any good excuse for a party. 
    Does this lottery thing work even if we only do fully secular Christmas? Because I'm way willing to try it if it doesn't require me to change my belief system or anything, just saying.

     Especially if that also gives me the right to party on the Tuesday after going back to work in January.

    Nope. No lottery winnings for blasphemers and heathens. But we get enchiladas.
