This afternoon.

Brown Thomas, on Grafton Street, launches its annual Christmas window display with help from Chloe Collins, aged 8 from Castleknock (above) and Ciaran Bass, head concierge at Brown Thomas, and Dylan Hamilton, aged 3 from Sandymount (third picture down).

Leon Farrell writes:

With just 64 days until Christmas Day, the Grafton Street store has today unveiled its festive windows featuring more than 10,000 decorations, 7,000 baubles, a mile of green foliage and more than 1 million lights. This year’s Christmas window theme pays homage to the nostalgic scenes from the traditional Christmas greeting card.

64 DAYS!

Ugh

Mmf.

    20% of the year is now Christmas according to these dopes..

    Should be a law about no Christmas decorations in public until after Hallowe’en.

        I’m no Grinch but there are limits: keep the decor for the Christmas shop on the top floor. Too discordant form when the clocks have yet to go back and temperatures are still in the teens.

    1. Gah!

      I adore Christmas. In December. This is just ridiculous. Debenhams was already decked out with Christmas decorations last week. Can we just have a little break?

    The re-introduction of Porters to make it look like a high end department store in Knightsbridge always gives me a laugh.

    Beyoncé, aged 4 from Cabra most definitely not in the picture. Only preppy kids from even single digits please (Dublin 8 only if they’re from east of Clanbrassil Street).

    Indeed they were, Boy. When I returned from England on Christmas Eve ’89, my dad picked me up from the ferry at Dun Laoghaire and we stopped at Switzers’ window on the way home – admittedly to kick in the windows and steal armfuls of fur coats – but it’s still a wonderful memory.

        I am – just a much drunker version. The soundtrack is police sirens rather than Dusty’s Goin’ Back.

    These efforts by stores to hit the headlines for early Xmas decorations are just lazy marketing attempts. Sure it will get your name around but if it annoys most customers then it’s not worth doing. How about making a splurge about respecting Halloween instead, get creative.
