You will start discussing Christmas arrangements in August- Who's hosting, gift ideas, what you're going to eat- the lot. As soon as you come back from your summer vacation- expect a barrage of festive related questions- summer is officially over people.
Christmas on Female First
Christmas cards have to be posted at the beginning of December- They like to ensure theirs is the first card everyone opens and to miss out on Christmas postal delays.
You will need to buy them an advent calendar- And give it to them on time- seriously it's worse than cheating if you miss the deadline.
You must give them a quality Christmas card- Not cheap tat that you picked up at the last minute- they have a nose for this sh*t- read the words, feel its weight and be prepared to hand over the cash.
You have to put up decorations early- No one of this waiting until the weekend before so the novelty wears off- the novelty NEVER wears off for Christmas lovers. It's supposed to be a joint effort but they will take over and decide where everything goes- it's a given.
You will need to put a drink and a treat out for Santa (and a carrot for Rudolph)- Then take a sip of the tipple and a bite from the snack so it looks like he's been. You must do this after your partner has gone to bed. If they see you do it- the magic is lost completely.
They will have an early night- Forget sex, a late night movie or a long and meaningful chat while snuggling in bed. Sleep is the priority- or Santa will know.
You'll have to put their presents out for them- So they can come down on Christmas morning to a fully stoked living room just like when they were kids.
There must be stocking- It has to be hung from the fireplace or put near the fireplace because that is the designated stocking spot. It must be filled with sweets and smalls gifts- all wrapped individually to prolong the present opening process.
They require play time- They like to spend an hour or two when the food is gone and the guests have moved on to carefully examine each gift and play with it or give it a home.
