In Finland we celebrate Christmas 24/12

And we're known because of our drinking habits.
We drink alcohol, a lot.

We do start to decorate our house earlier. But it would be around the end of November that we decorate our house with all Christmas ornaments, hang a star in front of the house and put up the Christmas tree too.
