This is up there with the "Back to School" stuff, before the kids even finished for the year.

Happy Christmas, all!

  1. Cheap, plasticky crap that will most likely end up in a landfill down the road.

  3. “It” being people going on about Christmas stuff being in the shops?

    The complaints seem to start earlier every year.

  5. Stacks of selection Boxes in Dunnes supermarket , and boxes of roses etc. sigh …

  6. That has to be ironic, or something. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

  7. I actually saw them selling stuff for Christmas 2024 and 2025 in a shop the other day

    Earlier every year

  10. Sweet fucking Jesus.

    You would imagine they would at least wait until after Halloween!

  11. Im curious to see if theres a cut off for this. Its honestly earlier every year.

    Its 104 days until Christmas. So this shop will be selling Christmas products for about 30% of this year.

  12. “…..ohhhh I wish it could be Christmas… every dayyyyy…..”

    [sound of shotgun being cocked]

  13. I was in The Range this morning and the staff were simultaneously blowing up a giant ghost or something for the window and putting Christmas decorations onto the shelves. They’re even building the little tunnels they put the lights in already. Wild.

  15. Shops don’t do this for the craic, they do it because people buy the stuff.

  16. Before Halloween should be a crime – more so considering Ireland’s Celtic background.

    Guess it’s time to go in and put a few zombies in the manger just to make sure the spooky season is still observed.

  17. Needs to be a rule that only lets you do this after Halloween.. Ugh

  18. The war on Christmas is over. Christmas has triumphed over all comers. Halloween defeated. 

  19. Old News. The Christmas sweets have been in Aldi and Lidl for weeks.

  23. The back school stuff in supermarkets is getting replaced by boxes of hero’s and roses.

  24. If we don’t buy it, it can’t begin….. it’s only driven earlier because we buy it earlier ….

  26. On the 31th of August, The Range in Liffey Valley had their rear section corded off because they were putting up the stuff for Christmas. Yes, not even in September and at the same time as Halloween stuff…

  28. Not already 🙄
    Can we stop this seasonality madness 🙏
