Shopping malls have started with Christmas decorations, festive adverts appear on TV and after eating up all the Halloween sweets, we are entering the festive season.
But if you are working in retail and you are forced to listen to Christmas songs on constant loop for the next weeks, it might be bad for your mental health.
