Good Morning Britain played host to an impassioned debate today, after the show asked if we are celebrating Christmas too early. 

Comedian Mike McClean revealed people who put decorations up early ‘gets on his nerves’, while content creator Sophia Ferrari-Wills, from Cambridge, says ‘we all need some happiness.’

According to tradition, Christmas trees and decorations should go up on the first day of Advent, or the fourth Sunday before Christmas, which falls this coming weekend. 

However Sofia revealed she puts her tree up straight after bonfire night saying it ‘fuels the Christmas excitement’ for her children. 

The mother-of-two added: ‘I like ambiance, lamps are on, you never use the big light, and fairylights are another form of that.

‘We all need some happiness, we all need a little bit of cosy and that’s what people say as soon as Halloween and bonfire night is over someone is waiting for you to start it , as soon as someone starts the fairylights it all kicks off.

‘The kids love it, it is fueling the excitement already.’

While TV Presenter  Mike said: ‘We’re celebrating Christmas too early now. Chris Rea is driving home for Christmas in July.

‘People are putting their brussel sprouts on the boil now, it’s too soon. I went home the other day and my neighbour had a tree in the window and a tree in another window, that’s just showing off, ”Look at me I can pay the electricity bill”.’

Sofia said she reckons people resist putting their decorations up early incase they tire of it. 

She said: ‘I like a tidy house, tidy mind, so if the decs are up too soon suddenly it’s overwhelming with the dust and everything people like to do a deep clean, get the decorations out and then keep it calm.

‘I like to see the New Year in fresh, so I take them down before New Year.’

Mike McClean says he puts his tree up on the 23rd of December and takes it down on the 27th.

He added: ‘Those lights outside people’s houses what’s the point in that, you’re in the house you don’t see it.’

While viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to leave their own thoughts on when to kick off the festive season. 

One person said: ‘People who put up their decorations early are ruining Christmas, these same people are the ones taking them down after Boxing day. It is 12 days of Christmas, that’s long enough if you wait.’

Another said: ‘No. We are putting our tree up on Friday it makes the kids happy and excited and for me that’s enough of a reason.’

Someone else wrote: ‘Why is it the same debate every year, put them up early, put them up late or don’t bother at all do whatever makes you happy.’

While a fourth said: ‘We do nothing. Absolutely zero! No lights no decs no tree. Waste of money and energy!’
