We're not even half way through November, but it seems Christmas enthusiasts across the world can't wait a minute longer to get their trees up.
Excited homeowners have been sharing pictures of their decorations online, baffling their followers with their apparent impatience.
With 45 days still to go until thebig day, revellers have kicked off the festivities early by putting up their festive firs - and they're taking to social media to proudly show off their efforts.
But the flurry of baubles and fairy lights taking over Twitter has sparked a fierce debate over how soon is too soon to deck the halls with some labelling it "insanity".

And etiquette expert William Hanson agrees, claiming this trend for early decoration is "socially undesirable" and advising homeowners to wait at least until December 17th before putting up their tree.
He told MailOnline: "For those who wish to remain socially desirable - but who get excited at the first sight of a pair of low hanging baubles - this year they can safely get away with decorating anytime from Saturday 17th December."
