London, Oct 5 A Brit couple has decided to start celebrating Christmas 82 days before December 25.

Gladys, 67, and Leslie Maw, 80, have already put up their decorations, despite the festive season being months away.

The grandparents' home in Walsall, West Midlands, already has scores of flashing lights put up, even before Halloween or Bonfire Night.

"It's worth all the money, time and effort just to see the children's faces light up when all of them are done. And a few of the adults' faces are a picture as well," the Daily Express quoted Gladys as saying.

"One of my grandsons will dress up as Santa and give every kid a present - we don't like to see children going without.

"We just do it for the joy of it, even if it does cost hundreds of pounds," she said.

Family members spent months scouring chain stores, pound shops, and car boot sales for decorations.

"The lights get a great response, we're still putting things up and that's why we've started so early," Leslie said.

"We have 60 grandchildren and great-grandchildren with four more on the way - so there's plenty of people who will want to see them and plenty of presents to start buying," he added. (ANI)
