Better earlier than later

Christmas came early for me this year as I celebrated it tonight. I'll celebrate it again on Christmas Day but that will be with other family members. I'm going away for Christmas this year and so I don't miss out on the chance to spend it with half my family we had it early. I'd say it's better to have it early because then you still have one Christmas a year and for those who love presents they get them that little bit sooner. Having 2 Christmas's is what I always have but this time they're spread out and it's different. Is it the fact I'm growing up or things are just starting to change around me?
