Have you started your Christmas shopping?

Only 98 days to go…

Festive chocolates have found their way onto supermarket shelves, along with the makeup and beauty brands launching their festive advent calendars.

And sure, Brown Thomas opened its Christmas shop last month – but does that mean the Christmas season has already begun?

Readers argue whether September is much too early to start Christmas shopping.

Where they land

It is far too soon to be talking about Christmas.

What they think

Halloween and the autumn months should come first.
