Ok, so it’s true that Christmas starts encroaching earlier and earlier every year.
And we definitely don’t agree with festive ads hitting our screens before Halloween is even over.

6) The first old person to say “you’d break your neck out there”
7) The Christmas lights getting turned on in your town
8) The tree going up in your house
9) The star going on the tree
10) The first time you hear Fairytale of New York
11) When your best friend comes home from Australia by surprise
12) When the family gets the first tin of sweets
