As the countdown to Christmas Day begins, festive adverts are already appearing on our TV screens, seasonal menus are popping up in coffee shops, and some parts of the country have even seen a dusting of snow this week. The question of when to start celebrating is causing a divide across the nation.

Some argue that November is too early to get into the Christmas spirit, while others are already embracing the festivities.

The age-old debate over the right time to put up the Christmas tree is still going strong, with many waiting until December 1st before decorating their homes. However, Christmas lights are already shining in towns across the UK, and celebrities like Stacey Solomon haven't hesitated to fill their homes with holiday decorations.

Despite personal preferences to delay the decor, a trip to the shops or tuning into the radio might confront you with premature Christmas tunes. Radio stations, including Capital and Smooth Radio, have faced criticism for their early festive playlists.

Are you tired of hearing Mariah Carey declaring that all she wants for Christmas is you in November?

Or are you someone who embraces the festive season and loves everything about it?

The annual escapades of George and Andrew resurface each December, sparking the commencement of Whamageddon- a unique festive challenge that divides opinion just as much as the Christmas tunes themselves. The rules are simple yet unforgiving: steer clear of the original version of Wham's 'Last Christmas' for the entire month.

Being "Whamageddoned" spells instant game over, but perhaps it's a sweet defeat with such a classic hit.

Intriguingly, some suggest a twist, switching the Wham hit for Mariah Carey's iconic 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. Given its ubiquity, this switch would likely mean an even briefer game for most.

Whether you're a year-round Christmas music enthusiast or prefer to keep the holiday hits confined to December, we want to hear from you. It begs the question: should there be a stop on Christmas songs in shops and on the radio until December?
