Are you more of a scrooge or festive elf? 🎄
Last updated 30th Nov 2021
The countdown is truly on with less than one month to go until Christmas!
As the festive classic goes...'it's the most wonderful time of the year!' And according to a recent from the team at Happy Linen Company, the people of Northern Ireland are the most festive of all.
With rankings calculated by how early its population started celebrating Christmas this year as well as how much more money they plan to spend on festivities compared to last year’s locked-down Christmas, Northern Ireland topped the list of both merry barometers.
It's reported that the people of Northern Irish plan to spend on average ÂŁ308.80 more on Christmas celebrations this year, compared to last, with almost half (46.7%) beginning their festivities in October and November.
Whilst many regions across are embracing a more extravagant and earlier Christmas this year, some parts of the UK aren’t quite feeling the festive spirit just yet.
East England was revealed to be the least festive region across the nation, with residents celebrating Christmas the latest across the UK and spending the least money on festivities (ÂŁ173.70)
