Poll: Is it too early to be talking about Christmas?

There’s about 1,240 hours until we open our presents this year.

HALLOWEEN IS OVER which means the country’s shops are currently being decked out in tinsel and fairy lights.

Christmas is over 50 days away but some shops like Brown Thomas already have their windows decorated with festive cheer.

Even Santa is getting in on the act a little bit earlier this year offering kids the chance to meet him in the skies three weeks before the big day.

This morning we’re asking: Is it too early to be talking about Christmas?
