When will the first snow fall?

Happy Christmas 🎄

correct, but the sun set at the latest time yesterday - thus yesterday was the longest evening of daylight (not longest day though - that was Wednesday)

Yeah, I was bored last night. Wife was watching Glastonbury - pure noise imo!

It's funny that you mention that. I was driving to work and saw a Christmas themed Cadbury's truck driving by. No word of a lie!!

Some are even earlier. A lot of the Christmas specials in the UK are often filmed in July.
