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

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.

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

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!

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.

There was a lovely smell of Winter in the air last night, it was clear skies out last night and very cold, the type of cold you could almost smell the cold.

It instantly reminds you of Christmas and Winter nights ahead.

I work in Tayto and they are making the Christmas party boxes since last week.

Also they are making a Hunky Dory party box one this year.

I'd love a bag of Hunky Dorys buffalo the size of a mailbag!! Those things are addictive.

Have been up to the factory for some work related visits & always wondered if I could sneak out a few 100 bags in the boot of my car

Unless your one of the grumpy engineers thats unlikely:D

Havent been up in a couple of years now though, the lads were complaining we were too expensive last time I gave them a fee proposal. I even said they could pay us in crisps but that didnt work...;)

very happy there doing a Hunky dory party box, Can we have a banshee bones one too ???:D (cant find those bastards anywhere since they launched)

Winterval in Waterford is happening this year but due to social distancing some of the events wont be taking place. Love going to the food market on a weekend night and then into the pub for a few

SarahLil

I'll be adding the Hunky Dory party box to my shopping list thanks for the heads up

Loughc

Yes I am very looking forward to a hunky dories box.

But the price has to make sense. Most of the time you can get a 9 pack for €3 so if a box of 18 is over €6 it doesn’t make sense.

Yeah I’m that person :P

The banshee bones sold out in a few days in Dealz and they’re waiting on another delivery of them. I’m on surveillance

Lidl is selling them for Halloween. I saw boxes of multipacks ready for the shelves in my local today.

I think I shared their menu a few years ago and got a similar response.
I've never got anything there but other café in the town menu's can be expensive enough also.

Cafe/restaurant prices. You wouldn't get a nice mince pie in a coffee shop for less than €2.50. Same with the cakes. €20 for a 6 inch cheesecake seems mad money but it would easily be a fiver a slice as a dessert. I just make them myself, cost way less and usually taste better.

I might just have a go at making my own mince pies this year! If they turn out to be duds I’ll just buy a box.

Ah you didn't meet me so, I'm full of Christmas cheer all year round. I do work in the maintenance dept though.:D

We actually don't get free crisps ourselves but can buy them fairly cheap, only thing is you get hounded by friends and relatives with the usual "will you pick us up a box and I'll give you the money next week".
