Here are a few websites Dennis that should explian exactly how to 'force' bulbs to grow when you want them to.

Hope you find them useful as I'm sure other visitors to our forums will. Very Happy

I bring mine in now from the outside into the warm, water and feed and beg it to do the business. I have never got them to flower for Christmas, but by mid January they normally look splendid.
