A Christmas superfan has already decked her halls with boughs of holly and has put her tree up three months early to mark the special occasion. She hung her baubles and turned on the lights on the August bank holiday - despite the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Pip Bensley said she has been doing this since the 1980s though and has no plans to stop any time soon. She already has festive tunes blasting and is preparing to open her first Advent calendar of the year. Not only that, Pip is getting ready to send out her Christmas cards - now that's organised.
