Fed up already of cute animals wearing Santa hats, trying not to cry at Christmas adverts and people posting festive tunes on Facebook?
Well, in the ultimate Bah Humbug move, Insurance2go is offering a Festive Filter – a Chrome Extension that you download for free.
Any mention of Christmas from your favourite websites and social media channels, even Facebook chat and sponsored posts, can be stamped out.
It’s after research from the gadget insurer shows that nearly 40% of us would prefer to avoid Christmas adverts before December 1st.
And forget them agreeing with you watching Home Alone any time soon – a further 26% of respondents suggested that Christmas films shouldn’t be shown before December 14th.
In fact things got quite tense when discussing reading about Christmas online before December. Some 21% of those polled identified their feelings toward Christmas as ranging from “not caring” to outright “hating it”. Ouch.

Gary Beeston,,sales and marketing director at Insurance2go, said: “Far from being grinches ourselves, we want to ensure that everyone’s Christmas starts only after they have had their first yuletide yearnings.
“With Christmas decorations going up earlier, and Mariah Carey on the radio from October, Christmas can become a little overbearing for some of us.”
Well, for all those who won’t be downloading the extension…
