Christmas is approaching fast. We can’t stop it now.

The more observant of you may have noticed that many Christmas related things are already happening. Quite a lot of these are a touch on the naff side.

It is this side of Christmas that we’d like your assistance in documenting.

From abysmal gifts to disappointing local Christmas displays, there’s plenty that’s a bit underwhelming at Christmas. Our tip is to embrace the banality. Hold it close to your chest. And then let us know all about it.

Perhaps your attempts to decorate the Christmas tree have not been going too well. Maybe your festive advent calendar has left a lot to be desired, or you went to a forgettable Christmas party or event and have the images to prove it.

We want to see your average Christmas photos. From tinsel in the gutter to a poorly designed mince pie, if it’s Christmas related, you have a photo of it, and it leaves you with a mild sense of disappointment, then we want to hear from you.

You can share your photos by clicking on the blue button below. You can also contribute by hashtagging your image #GuardianWitness on Instagram and Twitter.

We will put together an article of the most average contributions.

Merry Christmas.
