Christmas has become all-consuming: from the songs on the radio in the car, to the ads popping up on your browser, to the constant stream of films and shows on TV- you simply can’t escape it.
Whether you’re someone who wasn’t that Christmas crazy to begin with, or someone who loves the merriment, you have to admit sometimes it does become a bit much.
