Selling Christmas on eBay

Daily Mail:

But what of all those people we see in the sales snapping up discounted cards and wrapping paper for next year? Would any of them be prepared to buy the whole of next year’s Christmas a year in advance?

I put my entire Christmas on eBay on Boxing Day to find out.

The 7ft artificial Christmas tree I’d bought half-price from B&Q just a few days before for £40 was an obvious choice to put up for sale.

So, too, were the baubles and lights I had decorated it with. The matching red and green balls were bought last year for a few quid, but the twinkling lights cost about £30.

Next to be included in my lot was the holly wreath adorning my front door and the matching table centrepiece, complete with candles, which had made lunch look so pretty the day before.

Naturally, my Christmas stocking and the cute Santa candles that hold it up on the mantelpiece were included, but I kept thinking - who’d buy a used candle?
