    Absolutely buzzing for the next few months.

    What are the chances of snow this year, do we all think in here?

    Probably slim, but one can hope.

    Pretty slim I reckon. Which is a shame as I'd love snow.

    I just read that they're opening in Dundrum in October so if you're in Dublin at any stage after that you'll be able to have a proper browse and pick up some goodies. I like their advent calendars.
    I didn't realise this. I will be in Dublin a lot, mostly in the city, but I may take a trip to Dundrum now :P

    I may not be coming home this Christmas so the chances of snow will increase. last time I wasn't coming home was the year of the big snow.Last day of the week, in full knowledge I wasn't going home and my Client decided to change their mind and needed to review strategy over Christmas. Que me going online and booking tickets for that night. It was the year of the big snow and it took me a day to get home but I came home to a white Christmas!

    Anyone else think there's less 'too early for Christmas' stuff on social media this year? I think the weather is probably helping! Or people haven't realised BT are opening the Christmas shop. Or maybe people are coming around to our way of thinking.

    Yeah, I think all the BTs are opening their Christmas shops on the same day.

    I hope it's the latter, Toto!
    Although I try and avoid the comments section of articles like that because they'll only annoy me!

    EDIT: I don't see Galway mentioned on social media. We will need an Elf to go check it out for us!! ;)

    Seen that earlier on my dad's phone.

    In other news I feel like going around my house tomorrow morning chanting 'wonderful' and proclaiming that my bank balance will be 'deleted' with this news. In actual fact might be able to move things one way or another to get up on Sunday but my dad will think I'm crazy. (I need to know directions from M50 to Cayton Hotel Burlington road to RDS and to St Stephens Green for October he is going to show me).

    They had some Harry Potter baubles last year and they were very cool. This year's stuff looks great!

    My thread disusing Brown Thomas opening their Christmas shop was moved very briefly to this forum and then closed. I PM'd the mod and they said it's to early to be disusing X-mas in After Hours (I don't know how somebody can call Christmas X-mas It's just so wrong).
    This actually good news. No thread moaning about Brown Thomas opening their Christmas shop this year!

    It was moved over here, as this would clearly be the appropriate place for a thread about Christmas.

    I have closed it for now, pending a chat with Loughc, as it appears to have been started just to ruffle the feathers of the AH posters. Besides, I think we already have enough (positive) chat about BT over here already.

    No need to reopen it!
    It was mainly just to start the thread off on a positive but the mod says new rules apply now because of new mods and Christmas talk isn't allowed.
    They also said they hate Christmas!

    My dad told me that the X meant Jesus, quick google search give me the below:

    X” is indicating the Greek letter “Chi”, which is short for the Greek , meaning “Christ”

    Now I'm not normally a violent man but if anyone said "happy holidays" to me......
