Brown Thomas Has Opened Its Christmas Shop - Ireland Is Divided

This sight will either go one of two ways for you. 

1. YES! Pass us the selection box. I've been writing my list since February. 
2. BAH HUMBUG. 

Brown Thomas are no strangers to showcasing their Christmas store quite a few months in advance, and yet every year we seem somewhat surprised at the news. 

Now, we know what you're thinking 'Halloween hasn't even happened yet, wouldya g'way outta that', and you're not wrong. However, that hasn't stopped people sharing snaps from inside, in a bid to spread the festive cheer a staggering 131 days in advance!
