A new survey asked 5,000 people when they think the unofficial start of the “Christmas season” is. The most popular answer was December 1st with 32% of the vote and another 23% said early December. To further break it down, 22% said the Christmas season had already started -so, sometime in November. 14%: mid-December, 4%: a few days before Christmas and 2% never feel Christmas-y. (Photo: JOE.ie)
