If you work in retail, as I did for 50 years, Christmas starts on December 27th! By the time March comes round the stock is all ordered, and by July most of it sits in the storeroom waiting to come out into the shop. By the time Dec.24th comes round you're sick of Christmas, cos your already working on next Easter. Bah! Humbug! (not really, I enjoy it now there's no pressure)
