Default Help needed to make my Brain think it is Christmas soon!!

Well I am in the shops and I cant hear the christmas carols, even got mums at school telling how they have their decorations up (far to early if you ask me!!) but I just cant get my head around the fact it is 30 odd degrees and it is Christmas in 4 weeks time!!

Its confusing my brain and it is starting to hurt () so just wondered if anyone had any great ideas or tips to help get into the christmas spirit!!!

wait till xmas eve, and go shopping... its PACKED, and mainly cos the malls have real good air conditioning !!

Its not as xmassy i think, compared to what we traditionally know as xmas, but then.. its different and ppl still love the festivities, gotta feel sorry for big fat buggers dressed as santa in oz but !

I feel exactlt the same, got all the pressies etc but severely lacking in xmas spirit. I have been watching all the xmas movies u get at this time of year and has helped put me in the spirit of things a bit, mind u thats probably the alcoholic spirit side of things

Invite everyone you know over, INSIST on formal evening dress everyone whinges at first then instead of just another dull barbie you have glitz, drag out the best glasses, buy bulk sparkly stuff, buy some moet and raffle it ( adds class ) our last years winner took it back to the bottlo and swapped it for beer tho Have party poolside but lit up with zillions of cheap white fairy lights and suddenly you have atmosphere and amazed aussies

Live in the fridge and get someone to drizzle some water over you occasionally?

Maybe also get them to hand you a beer or two that has been out in the sun for a while.

You could even put up some pictures of Chavs Shopping on the inside of the door to recreate that special atmosphere of this magical time.

Downloading some crap programmes from the internet may also help ... get some vintage Noels Christmas House Party to really set the mood.
