AHEAD OF THE festive season, people began putting Christmas decorations and lights up early to help lift people’s spirits after a tough year.

Although this is the traditional day to take decorations down, Covid-19 cases are surging higher than the first lockdown in March and April, as hospital capacity has shown. 

So we’re wondering if you’re leaving your fairy lights up in the kitchen, or keeping the lights on the tree in the front garden on for a little bit longer than usual.

Tell us: Are you going to leave your Christmas lights up for longer than usual?


Poll Results:

No, they're down already (3582)
No, they all come down today (2989)
Yes (2049)
Yes, but only the outdoor ones (722)
