And who can blame them – it’s been a whirlwind of a year and a little festive cheer in November is no bad thing if it raises morale.
Whether you’re among those in festive full-swing already, or you’re dead against decorations before December, these 30 photos may give you some Christmas inspiration.
More than 200 of our readers shared photos of their Christmas trees and decorations and we’ve broken down 30 of our favourites for you – including a couple with a twist.
