00:00For myself, November is a touch early, I'm a firm believer in it, 1st of December, yes, bring it on,
00:06but till then, but then I suppose it brings people in, it gets flying, things like that.
00:12It does, I mean, my husband refers to it, or the razzmatazz before Christmas, as Yulefest, and I think that
00:18about sums it up really.
00:19But I do, I must admit, I love the glitter and the glitz as much as Christmas, the real meaning
00:25of Christmas, so, you know, I wouldn't want to be without it either.
00:29We have a tradition of giving, on Christmas Eve, we all get a new pair of pyjamas, so we look
00:33nice for the photos the next day.
00:35So you like your, those traditional stock photos? No, but my mum gets individual, she gets individual ones for everyone.
00:43So she knows, like, I like my fluffy PJs, so she'll get me fluffy, but my brother just like shorts
00:47and a t-shirt, so she'll get something like that for him.
00:49The tree. When does your tree go up and sort of, how do you decorate it?
00:54It looks vulgar because it's got decorations from around the world plastered all over it and a load of tinsel.
01:00And I love it. And it goes up second week in December.
01:06Well, no, no horrible ones. I mean, mostly we'll get perfumes and the more expensive ones at Christmas.
01:16Because with me, since my birthday is so close to Christmas as well, I always just, like, give them money.
01:22So it's like they say, just buy for everyone. So it's like, I don't mind it, but it's like, what's
01:28expensive effort into it?
01:30Go ahead.
01:30Bye bye.
01:30Bye bye.
