The shops are already selling mince pies, Christmas markets have revealed their opening days and the supermarkets are filming their ads for the festive season.
Most of us don't want to start thinking about Christmas yet, keeping our fingers crossed for a few more sunny days followed by those crisp, misty autumn months full of crunchy leaves and bonfire smells.
But according to psychologists there's nothing wrong with starting to get excited about Christmas in September - and in fact it may be good for your health.
Psychoanalyst Steve McKeown said: "Although there could be a number of symptomatic reasons why someone would want to obsessively put up decorations early, most commonly for nostalgic reasons either to relive the magic or to compensate for past neglect.
Talking to Unilad , he added: "In a world full of stress and anxiety people like to associate to things that make them happy and Christmas decorations evoke those strong feelings of the childhood.
"Decorations are simply an anchor or pathway to those old childhood magical emotions of excitement. So putting up those Christmas decorations early extends the excitement!"
So while there are still months to go, and Halloween to get past first, it may be time to start sneaking down those baubles from the loft.
