It might still be the middle of August and the sun is shining in the window but Brown Thomas have just opened their Christmas Shop for 2017.

The Odeon Bar in Dublin posted a picture to their Facebook page of the new store and it seems like yep, it's really happening. 

It was also spotted by a couple of other eagle eyed shoppers. 

They're putting together the Christmas shop in Brown Thomas. It's like watching sausage being made.

Christmas shop has opened in Brown Thomas, women in work are outraged and I'm trying to hide my delight because I love Christmas!

We can hear those sleigh bells jingling already. Only 132 days to go.
