Some things need to be done in good time before the Christmas season, such as preparing traditional Christmas cakes or having a serious look at who deserves a Christmas card from you this year. But with the countdown to Christmas well into double digits, retailers are clearing their shelves to make sure customers can stock up on mince pies and advent calendars long before the clocks go back at the end of this month.
What early retail signs of Christmas have you discovered so far? Do you like picking up a Christmas bargain months before the Yuletide season, or do you despair at seeing all things Christmas in the shops so far in advance?
Whether it’s Christmas crackers outselling Halloween pumpkins, wrapping paper taking over the stationery aisle or mince pies laying siege to the Mr.Kipling selection at your local supermarket, share your early signs of Christmas with us. We’ll feature the best of them on the site.
