How soon is too soon? – Amelia G

With December crawling closer christmas lights have started to appear and the supermarkets are being taken over with advent calendars and baubles, but is it too soon to be bombarded with Mariah Carey?

The infamous Winter Wonderland opened on November 18th, around the same time as London’s Christmas lights, with the new Magical Ice Kingdom and 500 tonnes of ice statues! Additionally, the highly anticipated Harrod’s display definitely lived up to expectations, with Dior transforming the building into a massive gingerbread house! However, this year they have decided not to bring back the popular Santa’s grotto attraction, a big blow to their Christmassy atmosphere.

In my opinion Christmas can’t arrive soon enough, and hopefully boarding houses will start stuffing multicoloured tinsel into every space possible and blasting our eardrums with Christmas classics. However an excess of Micheal Bublé is enough to put anyone off celebrating and convert them into a Scrooge sympathiser, so it may be a good idea to scale back on that particular Christmas album, especially in Drake (please).

It is never too early for Christmas so I hope to see decorations appearing soon, movies being watched and advent calendars being opened from the 1st of December. Hope you all have an amazing early Christmas!!

This is incorrect; Christmas starts around December 23rd and finishes on the 27th (at a push).
