A Festive Aficionado
On what subject(s) are you an authority?
Christmas has been my favourite time of the year since early childhood and, in the manner of many people on the autistic spectrum, I immediately wanted to know as much about it as possible. I became absolutely obsessed with facts and stories about the festive season. I had a huge love for the story of Christmas and the stories with Christmas at their heart like A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Christmas music was, and remains, my delight and the films and TV specials became part of my Christmas traditions.
Since our children were old enough to understand Christmas I have had even more opportunities to indulge my obsession and I have tried to turn them into Christmas lovers as well, with some success.
I can reel off facts and figures as well as anecdotes, and for the last decade or more have introduced my overseas students to the delight of the festive season. At work I was the expert on Christmas music and the organiser of the Secret Santa.
Some may find my extreme love for this time of the year baffling or worse, but I know that I have an audience of like minded people who appreciate my expertise. Those of you who are interested can find over 50 Christmas related articles on my blog and, for the 4th year, I will be taking part in Blogmas.
Any other Christmas lovers are always welcome on this blog!

I still look forward to Christmas, although it’s the build up i like more than the after party

I think I enjoy the build up more as well, but I end up loving Christmas Day and Boxing Day because I love cooking and having the family around.
