I did not know the real atmosphere until having lived in Scotland. Once have joined a Christmas dinner in a Scottish house where my landlord lady hosted her relatives, then knew an authentic real Christmas mood in a home in December. That was more festive and cheerful than Japan's new year's day. (we are silent)
I guess that Christmas could be the most respected event in the year for them and also, the happiest time ever. Since then, I understand people love Christmas and desperately go Christmas shopping for the preparation.
I wish a happy Christmas mood runs for a whole year. So, made a pair of pyjama pants for myself with 2 Christmas print fabrics this time. I would be sleeping well in them.
