Festive food and drinks have been stocked on supermarket shelves since the summer, and Christmas music is seemingly creeping onto radio stations earlier and earlier each year.<\/p>\n

But with “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” all around us, it poses the question – when is an acceptable time to start putting up your Christmas lights and decorations?<\/p>\n

One woman took to Mumsnet to ask whether she was being unreasonable for branding her decoration-eager neighbour \u201cattention seeking\u201d.<\/p>\n

The user claims that her neighbour has had a \u201cfully lit tree in the window, outdoor lights, Christmas wreath on the door- the works,\u201d since October 31 – Halloween.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s done this since she moved next door to me five years ago and I assume she did it before that too,\u201d the user continued.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I\u2019ve known her, she\u2019s also posted on Insta and her WhatsApp status each year on either Christmas Day or the 26th to show her decorations coming down and a general ‘I can\u2019t spend another minute looking at them’ message.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she put them up at Christmas and not at Halloween, she wouldn\u2019t be looking at them for all that long,\u201d argued the user.<\/p>\n

After branding all people who put their decorations up \u201csuper early\u201d attention seeking, the original poster did explain: \u201cI know there are some exceptions where decorations are put up for different reasons like someone with a terminal illness, a family celebrating early before someone emigrates etc. but those are rare so I\u2019m not factoring then into my thoughts around this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several users flocked to the forum to give their opinion on the matter, with user @Iamclearlyamug commenting: \u201cI agree, but I’m a scrooge who thinks the C word should be banned until December 1 and wouldn’t have a tree at all unless DD [dear daughter] and OH [other half] put it up and down each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with you, it’s ridiculous and tacky. However, lots of people love it and I suppose it doesn’t do any harm. But I do judge,\u201d added user @BrandNewBicep.<\/p>\n
