The launch of the Holidays' festivities in Europe is usually the first Advent, which this year is the 29th of November! So that time is just around the corner.
Some families will only decorate with accessories and ornaments at the beginning and wait until late in December to dress up the Christmas tree, while others will display everything right at the beginning of December.
In any case, stores and shops are ready for the festive season and are full of glitter, so you cannot avoid thinking about it at all!
