Stacey Solomon has horrified fans this week after putting up a Christmas tree already. And yes, we're still in early November.
Stacey, 33, took to social media where she was explaining to followers how she'd had a mega productive day.
As she was talking on her Instagram Stories, some eagle eyed followers spotted a Christmas tree in the background, and immediately messaged Stacey to see if she'd started putting up her decorations.

Sharing a message from one follower, Stacey was forced to address the tree in the background.
"Please tell me that's a Christmas tree," one wrote, to which Stacey replied: "Your messages are cracking me up! Yes that was a Christmas tree in the background of my last video but I promise I haven't started decorating yet...
"I put it up because I really want to forage Christmas this year. I want to try and make all of my decorations out of things I already have and things I can find in the garden (or someone else's garden).

"Because I love making stuff so so much and I've collected so much over the years it seems a waste to buy anything new but it is nice to change a little each year.
"Also I know people find Christmas so expensive anyway so I thought to try to find as many ways to decorate for next to nothing as possible this year."
The date of which you should put up your Christmas tree is often the subject of much debate. While some like to get theirs up as early as November, others would prefer to wait well into December.
But if you like to put your Christmas tree up early, then good news! The exact date you're 'allowed' to put your tree up is actually earlier than you might think.

According to tradition, a Christmas tree should actually be put up at the start of Advent, which begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas.
This year, Advent falls on Sunday 27 November - which means if you do like putting your tree up in November, you'd only be following tradition by doing so!
If you do put your tree up early, it's worth remembering that (if you're using a real tree) you'll want it to last until at least the big day itself.

However, buying your tree within four weeks can keep it looking at its best over the Christmas period, too.
When do you put your decs up?
