A FIFTH of people in the UK already have their Christmas tree up.
That's according to data commissioned by NetVoucherCodes.co.uk which shows that out of 4566 respondents, nearly 20 per cent already have their tree up and a further 33 per cent say they will have their festive decorations up before the end of November.
It seems like coronavirus is making many people get some early festive spirit.
With almost 20 per cent already having their tree up, 12 per cent are planning on having it up before the middle of the November, and another 21 per cent insist it will be up towards the end of the month.
That means that over half of those who took part in the survey will have decorated their homes before the start of December.
Another 39 per cent are waiting until the first weekend of December and the remaining 8 per cent will put the tree up in the final weeks running up to Christmas Day.
A spokesperson said: “After the year we’ve had, people need something to lift their spirits and to look forward to, so it’s no surprise that there’s been a massive increase in people getting their trees up in November.
“Even celebs like Michelle Keegan are getting in on the early action!
“It’s also a clear sign that people are well and truly done with 2020 and are keen to round off the year and put it behind them.
“Who knows what Christmas is going to look like this year, but if getting the decs up early helps families stay positive and brings some light to an otherwise dark and dreary year, then we’re all for it!”
