Going to miss that today. Always go in on the first day and buy a tree ornament but I’m away for a few days so it’ll probably be Sunday before I get there. Still, I’m looking forward to it.
I asked them on Twitter 2 weeks ago when the shop would be open and they said the end of the month. I had a feeling it would be today, but I thought due to the current situation.... my little tradition of being there on day one gone....

I still remember in the late 90s BT opened their Christmas Shop in mid-September and I was amazed (in a good way!) coming from abroad where the Christmas merchandise used to arrive later in the year.
At that time the BT Christmas Shop was in separate standalone location still in Grafton Str. , I think that later was taken by BT 2 (it is years since I have been to Dublin - so my recollection might not be perfect)
That shop is now Victoria's Secret underwear
I'm sure they have some Christmas themed products as well! 0 -

The Galway Christmas Market, which would be local enough to me, is planning on going ahead, so far anyway. I don't think I'll be able to venture in if it does go ahead, unless I manage to find a very quiet day

I did spot the Galway one was going ahead alright. I suppose like everything else now its just a lot of having to wait and see what happens! Not being able to plan things is hard. We tried planning a weekend away but now it looks like we'll have to cancel those plans with Dublin lockdown looming :rolleyes: I'm thinking come the middle of November my lights and tree will be up because I'll need something nice to look at 0

Even the Christmas UK site which normally follows all the markets has said they're unlikely to do so this year due to the potential for cancellation, such a shame so much is completely up in the air. Normally we'd have our christmas events booked by now & this year we have absolutely nothing at all lined up, even the school has said they'll not be doing their traditional carols night with the choir which we'll really miss. Just have to make the most of it ourselves by the looks of it. Plenty of films, music, decorations & treats methinks.
As I said a few post above, we had our main one (us & extended family) booked and all this time last year. Not even sure if it's open this year
We are do Arnotts, just the 5 of us, however will no ticket and queuing up I am not sure that is going to work this year 0 -

Apparently they have built tunnels over there for the visitors to go through to keep separation. He said they have to open because the Christmas trips is their income for the year.
Looked at these over the years but need to win the lottery for the four of us to go

I think it's new this year. You'll probably see it in supermarkets. They did a chocolate house in the past for Christmas.0 -
