Several stores in Wicklow and throughout the country have decorations and Christmas food items on their shelves, while consumer experts are now encouraging people to get their Christmas shopping done early.
Covid-19, Brexit, global supply chain issues, a shortage of computer chips and truck drivers in the UK, are being highlighted as reasons for people to begin shopping for Christmas early this year.
