With the night’s drawing in and Christmas just around the corner, people around the country are getting their trees up and homes decorated before the big day. And when it comes to decorating, everyone has their own opinions on when and how they want to do things.
So, how is the UK decorating their homes this Christmas?
With this in mind, a new study from The Toy Shop has surveyed the nation to reveal the UK’s preferences when it comes to the age-old art of decking the halls…
- With psychologists supporting the notion that those who put their trees up earlier are happier, 22% opted to crack the decorations out during November this year
- 69% of the UK choose an artificial tree, whereas 19% will opt for a real one
- 12% said they do not have a tree at all
- While tinsel may have been declared ‘common’ by some experts, that didn’t stop 29% of people adorning their trees with the classic decoration
- 35% said that children are not allowed to help decorate the tree, and 14% admitted to redecorating the tree without them knowing
