It’s happening! Christmas lights have been put up across Dublin City

It’s beginning to look like a lot like…

We haven’t even marked Halloween yet and Dublin is already doing their best to get us into the festive spirit as people have noticed Christmas lights popping up on the city’s famous streets, and we’re honestly slightly excited about it.

Some people get a little bothered by celebrating the holidays too early, but we can’t say we blame them this time.

This year’s outrage will possibly be warranted, more so than any year before it. X user Feljin Jose shared an image of the chandelier Christmas lights being put up on South Anne Street last night.

It feels particularly disconcerting given that the temperatures reached 22°C during the day.

Today’s continuous rainy, with the appropriate early-teen temperatures, would perhaps have made witnessing this feel less jarring, but it being 20°C+ yesterday in mid-October leaves us with an uneasy feeling, and not just from the back sweat that resulted from our complete inability to dress with the changeable weather

Thankfully, the lights won’t be switched on for weeks yet. But, we have to admit, this is one of the spookiest occurrences of spooky season so far.
