16 Surefire Signs That Christmas Is Coming

    And no, it isn't just because December 1st is next week.

    1. Those lights that have been up since June?

    Bloody ugly aren't they?

    NOW THEY'RE SWITCHED ON. BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

    2. You get excited by all the confectionery, even though it has been there since August.

    3. But you haven't bought an advent calendar yet.

    There's LOADS of calendars in stores right now aren't there?

    4. So you decide to buy one on December 1st.

    Remember.... you could always get a Dairy Milk bar and add in the advent calendar squares yourself.

    Or you could make yourself a Blue Peter advent.

    5. But if you don't want a coat hanger with some tinsel on to burn your house down, you could do THIS.

    6. There's this beast out. HIGHLIGHTER READY.

    Your evenings now? Plastering the inside with notes.

    7. Love Actually has also started on TV again. Don't worry if you miss it. It'll be on 4434 times.

    8. You also decide to watch NOW Christmas, a channel dedicated to showing non-stop Xmas music.

    9. And of course... there's the Xmas ads. TheToys R Us one is the only advert that will make your spine tingle.

    They don't even bloody show the animation these days. THE MAGIC JUST COMES FROM THE MUSIC.
