Is it too early for Christmas?
Some say it’s never too early for Christmas, and there are many reasons for that.
For example, decorating your home can improve your mood by releasing dopamine, the feel-good hormone in your brain.
If you’re an early riser, Christmas supply stores can help you prepare and reduce costs over several months.
You can also look for bargains during various shopping events, for example during the end of year sales or Black Friday.
One of the best things about the holidays is eating lots of delicious seasonal meals and treats – enjoying your favorite drinks and drinks.
‘To each his own. Don’t make mountains out of molehills. Life is too short,” wrote another.
A third commenter on the post shared a photo of their Christmas tree to reassure the mother that she wasn’t the only one getting into the festive spirit weeks in advance.
“There’s nothing wrong with putting up a tree now, especially if you have small children, the run up to Christmas is all fun and exciting for them!” they wrote.
“My tree was put up yesterday and my son is over the moon if it makes people happy, that’s all that matters.”
