I didn't hear carols. Just saw decorated trees and I thought that was OTT. I thought the whole idea came from 'it's still a ways to go to Christmas and there are no public holidays so let's celebrate anyways'
I always thought it was to celebrate some sort of White Christmas because there is no other way it should be celebrated. /s
I thought it was a semi celebration but more of a fun but unoriginal themed idea to raise money for a charity. Like, having a staff dinner etc. Maybe that's not the genesis but I'm sure it was used thus.
It might be. The first I heard of it was on Big Brother many moons ago.
