Author Annabel Fenwick Elliott has put up her Christmas tree, marking an early start to the holiday season. Elliott acknowledges that her decision may be seen as "tacky and lower-class" by some, but asserts the need for "festive joy" and wants it "now."

She declared that her house now resembles "an elf's grotto" and anticipates that "snobs will sneer." However, she believes that "we should all be celebrating Christmas early."

Elliott's early decorating extends beyond just the tree, as she plans to adorn every available surface with lights. She suggests that the period between now and December 26th will find her "skipping around, gleefully draping twinkling lights across every spare surface."
