¿Me puedes echar una mano con esta expresione por favor? Could you help me with this expression please?
Cómo pasa el tiempo, sin darnos cuenta se nos han echado encima las Navidades
I am not sure if this means
How quickly (the) time passes, without us realizing it Christmas is nearly here, or without us realizing it Christmas has gone.

I think in this case it's sort of literal, 'without us realizing that Christmas has thrown itself close to us', so your first translation would be right.
