Кажется, после всего, что мир пережил в 2020, больше всего мы мечтаем о чуде и волшебстве. Может быть, поэтому уже так хочется новогоднего настроения и ожидания праздника?✨

И совершенно случайно нашла подтверждение своим мыслям в новой статье от The Guardian «Why Britain is already celebrating Christmas»

Очень легкий текст с новогодней лексикой — сразу захотелось начать украшать дом🎄😍Вот несколько выдержек:

✨We decided to start now. Let’s bring in that magic, that joy, that hope into the house as early as possibleю. It’s been quite a challenging year.

✨This year, the vacuum of time that’s been 2020, hasn’t really been normal. So it feels really right to put decorations up now. Keeping the magic alive is so important. We are all determined to see out this year in a really positive way, and look forward to 2021 with a view that things are going to be much better.

✨Two weeks ago, the BBC reported that people were buying and streaming Christmas songs earlier than ever. Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You returned to Spotify’s top 40 nine days earlier than it did last year, and yesterday had reached No 20. Christmas Tree World, which sell artificial trees online, has announced its sales are 140% higher than this time last year.

✨I think it cheers everybody up. It makes you feel more festive and makes you not worry so much. We don’t know if we’re going to see family this year, so I think it distracts you a little bit. I know it sounds really corny, but this year has been so tough and it makes you appreciate your family and your life so much more.

✨Almost 80% of grocery shoppers who took part in a recent Mintel survey said it was important to have a “good Christmas” after the stresses of 2020.
