People in Liverpool vow to 'lift spirits' by putting up Christmas decorations earlier than ever

Today marks 100 days until Christmas and people in Liverpool are determined to start celebrating early this year.

While it may still seem like a long way off, it might not be many more weeks until you start seeing those twinkling fairy lights appearing in windows across the city.

Last year we noticed that people across Merseyside were keen to get started early, with trees being spotted far and wide well before the end of November.

Helen Harrison agreed: “Definitely going up earlier this year !!!!”

Sam Crosby said: “Yep straight after Bonfire Night."
