PEOPLE tend to fall in to two camps – those who feel Christmas is over too soon and those who are pleased to see the back of it.
But Xmas enthusiasts will be delighted to learn of a totally OTT hotel in Tennessee that celebrates Christmas all year round.
The Inn at Christmas Place, which can be found next to Dollywood theme park, even celebrates Christmas in the middle of July when you can expect temperatures up to 31C.
It offers everything from Santa meet-and-greets to gingerbread making and free milk and cookies.
Guests enter through a huge lobby at the 145-room Bavarian themed hotel, which is fully decorated with Christmas trees, lights and garlands.
Kids can write letters to Santa and post them in a letterbox, to receive a reply via email, and there is a three-storey Glockenspiel that plays carols every hour.
