Halloween isn't even here yet, but Dublin is already getting into the festive spirit.
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.

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