LAST week, some readers said Christmas had come early for them this year, as they began putting up decorations to brighten up what has been a dark year.

The Oracle may have fallen quiet at the moment as the country enters the third week of the second lockdown, but that hasn't stopped the town from embracing some Christmas spirit for passers by and those buying essentials, with decorations filling the streets.

Next to one set of Christmas lights is a sign reading: "Thank you NHS and our key workers."

Reading Chronicle:

We want to see photos you have taken of Christmas decorations you have seen, or your own if you have them up.

We will use the photos for a special feature on Christmas 2020 in the town.
