I think you plant them in August.  Make sure they are protected from frost.  Don't know about any special treatment otherwise.

There have been quite a lot of Christmas spuds threads recently, Iain@JBA posted a useful bit of information, might be worth a search?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
