You've seen it all around the internet. People getting worried about the holidays coming at a swift pace and the people having to prepare for Christmas and the many other winter holidays; groaning over stores marketing for Christmas earlier than expected, and Christmas carols played ad nauseum. And the question is, when is it the best time to celebrate Christmas?

Answer: It depends on the person.

Now to be fair, there are limits to when it is best to celebrate this right around when the holiday is right in the horizon (namely late November, early December). It would be rather ridiculous to keep the decorations up all year around. But if you do so, more power to you and I appreciate your enthusiastic fervor for Christmas. But in many respects, every one of us has our point when we are prepared to get involved with the holiday. For example, some people jump all the way from Halloween, skip November, and rush to ready for Christmas, and some wait until either immediately after Thanksgiving or a week or so later the grand Turkey Day.
