I found myself describing myself as 'All Christmassed out' to friends by the end of term. Due to the nature of my job I find myself doing a lot of Christmas things, repeated maybe 10-15 times, before Christmas itself and find it does spoil the Advent season. I definitely put more effort into separating my job and my home this year in that sense.

Hear, hear. I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never really understood all the razzmatazz before the day itself. Then the hangovers and boredom until the knees up of New Year’s Eve. Save us and help us.....

First year of marriage and we’re working on compromises so I can acknowledge Advent. I put up my various advent pieces and he put up the tree late for him but early for me. Work in progress but seemed to work.

For music lovers, Tsh Oxenrider has a selection of advent specific playlists on Spotify.
