Did the grocery shopping yesterday in Dunnes & was raging there was still no mince pies on sale. I was sure they went on sale in September the last few years (theres a mad stat out there that Millions are bought in September every year) so was confident I'd pick up a box yesterday being the last w/e in September, but no. Plenty of Halloween cakes & suchlike but no sign of anything christmassy from that already on display last week.
Normally I'd wait until Dec. 1st to indulge my love of mince pies but have decided this year all my old date based traditions are out the window, for food, songs, movies etc.

Fingers crossed they'll be there next week!

Saw this in Lidl at the weekend and though of you DvB!

I was in my local Dunnes yesterday (Ashbourne) and they had mince pies out on the shelves so you should get them this week.

Of the few shops I've been in lately Aldi seems by far to have the most Christmas stock out.

Nice one.

Funnily enough our Aldi had nothing other than boxes of Quality Street out. I had gone in looking for Stollen, but was surprised by how little of anything christmas related was out. Hopefully that'll change this week.

It sounds a very interesting concept - expecially if it showcases small vendors - I will def check it out when Website goes live

When I was looking for my picture for 90 days until Christmas. I found these runners.

They are so cute !
The practical in me would go for something similar, but with more red and green, and only white accents.

No Christmas stuff over here yet. Quite a bit of Halloween stuff but I am certain there will be no trick or treating.

Some lovely looking things there in Next.

This is not a drill!!! There is a Christmas thread in the normal forum! In after hours, and its not moaning about Christmas happens earlier.

I prefer Last Christmas ..... only joking but I do love the song. Watched the Santa clause 2 and 3 with my daughter yesterday, I know it’s early but this year the anticipation for Christmas in our house is through the roof

matchthis

Watched Elf the musical animated one yesterday and doing Santa lists today. With the way things are, we want to give Santa time to make them. Got the goose fat and large tin foil yesterday after leaving too late last year.

Ordered these

And

For Christmas Dinner, got the last two sets. Amazon also do them, but are out of stock at the moment. Went down well last year with the kids and adults. Kids tingling them at the end of Polar Express for weeks after

My folks still do Santa for me and Im in my 30's (hanging in there). It's generally just a small fun present and some chocolate/sweets. I still love it. My eldest is past Santa but I still make a big deal winding her up about hearing sleigh bells on the lead up to the big day.

It's an amazing coming to work and logging on. Usually I try and keep reading the few posts till coffee time or lunch, and try and spread them out so I can savior the Christmas spirit. Now I log on and wonder if I will get to read them all!!

We're into the 80's and only a few days until October. This time next month we'll be very near Christmas ads.

I know this is a real first world problem, our current Christmas tree was ideal for our old apartment with a low ceiling but we moved into a new house last year and it looked a bit sad being so short.

Looking for a 8ft or even 9ft high tree....not a lot of stock around yet, hopefully that changes soon.

Littlewoods have a few 8ft ones. I've had two from there and they are really nice. I got one last year from them a 7ft real looking one and it is huge! I've a small living room and it's like the scene from the griswolds.

We got a great tree a couple of years ago from Balsam Hill - just google them. They are not cheap but are very good quality.

Hi all, absolutely stunning autumn day here in Cork :-) went for a walk this morning and it was just gorgeous, nice crisp autumn weather, just the way I like it :-P I’m doing the boring stuff today - washing and ironing! I get a strange satisfaction from it though! I’m making pizza tonight with pizza dough I got in Aldi - looking forward to that! Might do a bit of baking also.

SarahLil I love the Nigella Christmas shows and I know exactly what you mean about the fair lights, I love the way she has the house decorated!

Just back from a hurling training session with the boys and its gorgeous out there, a little chilly to start but clear and sunny, soon warmed up and had to shed a few layers. No doubt it'll get cooler later but lovely day out there now.
Make the most of it though, next week looks awful.

Freezing today, although I'm enjoying this weather.

It's hard to believe that on Thursday it's October. How did that happen.
