I APPRECIATE we have all had a bad year, but why are the streets full of Christmas lights and trees?

There is a time for Christmas, and that time is December.

Do we really need to start celebrating now?

I simply find it annoying and disrespectful.

I want to take my tree down before New Year as it is.

If I put it up now, I would have it back in the loft before Christmas Day.

Christmas is supposed to be special and celebrated at the right time.

Not in November by annoying do gooders.
