Is it still too early to mention the 'C' word?

Yes, is the answer – but try telling that to the folks over at Brown Thomas.

A new Christmas section has launched at the Cork, Limerick and Dublin stores, offering eager customers some of “the most luxurious and stylish” festive gear around, and we're just not sure how to feel.

The windows will also be decked out with extravagant displays of festive nonsense.

According to NewsTalk, Brown Thomas creative director John Redmond says: "Our aim is to offer that special Brown Thomas magic to our much valued customer, the season begins when our windows open."

And while that all sound fantastic, we reckon the magic may have worn off by the time Christmas actually rolls around.

Needless to say, Twitter is divided about the controversial move.

18 weeks and counting, ladies!

Mariah Carey is the indisputable queen of Christmas, with her iconic All I Want For Christmas song dominating the charts every year. 

The pop sensation revealed earlier this year that her classic tune was being converted into a movie, and now Mariah has shared that another movie is in the works. 

The Star is set to be a complete Christmas Classic, telling the story of the first every Christmas through the animated eyes of the animals involved. 

Mariah took to Twitter to leak the trailer, and told fans that she was excited for them to see it this holiday season. 

She also hinted that she would be singing a new song for the film. 

The trailer revealed that both Opera and Kelly Clarkson would also be featuring in the upcoming flick. 

It's definitely too early to be excited for Xmas, but with two new cosy films to look forward to, we're kind of hankering for fairy lights and eggnog. 

Until then, we'll be following Mariah in the hopes of getting a sneak preview of her new song…

Well, if anyone was going to send Christmas cards depicting their very own naked body – it was probably going to be Emily Ratajkowski. 

Yup, the 25-year-old US model has now showed off a sneak peak of the card itself on her Instagram account.

And – unsurprisingly – her bod looks pretty amazing in a we'd-rather-not-see-that-when-we're-in-a-turkey-coma kinda way.

Emily told The Sun that she only had five of them made explaining: "The cards are far more than just a holiday greeting – they’re a gift in and of themselves."

We couldn't agree more, Miss Ratajkowski!

She added: “With everything going on in the world this year, my material gifts seemed to stop short at feeling special and full of love, so I decided to do the collages.”

Emily is currently spending Christmas in Venice.

Look, we absolutely recognise that celebrity-types have rather different Christmas Days than the rest of us. 

From ridiculous gifts to increasingly outrageous selfies (we're looking at you, Mariah) – we're hazarding a guess they probably don't end up lounging around in their jim-jams scoffing the end of a Roses tin while shouting at the television.

Still, even we were taken aback at just how completely OTT Kylie Jenner's Yuletide celebrations were. 

From ponies, and puppies, to cars and furs – if you're a teenage multi-millionaire, a social media queen, and a cosmetics entrepreneur your festive season is as bling as they come.

Here's a round-up of what Kylie gave and received:

 

1. She gave a pony to her boyfriend Tyga's four year old son, King:

 

2. She gave an all-white puppy to her model sister, Kendall, 21:

 

3. She received this large picture of herself:

 

4. She gifted a red Mercedes to her grandmother, MJ:

 

5. She gave her sister's boyfriend, Scott, a watch from Patek Phillipe [it cost around $35K]: 

 

6. She got personalised Gucci luggage – emblazoned with her initials [Kylie Kristen Jenner]:

 

 7. There were classic Ford Thunderbirds for her grandmother, MJ, and mother, Kris:

 

 

8. She received a Hermes Birkin crocodile bag [value – tens of thousands of dollars]:

 

9. She received a huge pile of red fox fur:

 

10. She received these pressies from Tyga – but we don't know what's inside:

Since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth got back together, they've been very quiet on social media, and even struggle to answer general questions about their other half in interviews and on TV.

But it looks like that could soon be changing because this Christmas, they are totally living it up – and most importantly, are posting pictures on social media for all of us to see (score!).

A few days ago, Liam hopped into the Cyrus family picture, but now they're taking NUMEROUS selfies and we just love it so much.

They look SO happy together, and we hope they enjoy every festive season just as much as they enjoyed this one.

Just look at the dressed up as Mr and Mrs Claus!

Too cute.

Kate, William and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte headed out to Christmas mass today, and the little ones were the picture of cuteness while doing so.

Holding onto their parents hands as they made their way to the church, George donned his usual outfit of shorts and long socks, while Charlotte wore a beautiful navy coat and burgundy tights.

The family all matched together as well, with Kate Middleton donning a gorgeous burgundy coat with a faux fur collar and William wore a navy coat with a burgundy tie.

Many on Twitter pointed out how George must have been freezing in his red shorts, but if you know toddlers, then you know there's no telling them what to wear… especially on Christmas.

The Queen couldn't make it to the Christmas ceremony today, as she is still suffering from a cold, but the rest of her family turned out in eloquent fashion.

We hope Santa brought George and Charlotte everything they wished for, and the Queen recovers quickly from her cold.

For the first time in 28 years, Queen Elizabeth will not be attending the traditional Christmas service in Sandringham.

Since 1988, the Queen and members of the Royal Family have celebrated Christmas at St Mary Magdalene Church, but the monarch’s ill health has left her unable to attend today’s service.

Releasing a statement to the press and public, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Queen, who turned 90 this year, has made the decision to opt out of the service in an effort to recover from a cold.

“The Queen continues to recover from a heavy cold and will stay indoors to assist with her recovery.”

“Her Majesty will participate in the Royal Family Christmas celebrations during the day.”

Various other members of the Royal Family will attend the service as usual.

In a move which has hit everyone right in the feels, JK Rowling has shared a heartwarming message to fans and followers around the world today.

Offering words of comfort to anyone struggling over the festive period, the Harry Potter author encouraged her fans to think positively about their future.

In a series of tweets which have been re-tweeted thousands of times since their upload earlier today, J.K drew on her own experience before reminding her fans that bad times do pass.

Explaining that she has received countless greeting from fans, she wrote: “I’ve also heard from people who are going through tough times. These always seem worse at Christmas.”

“At this time of year, we’re bombarded with images of perfect lives, which bear little relation to reality as tinsel does to gold.”

“If you’re lucky enough to be with the people you love, warm and safe, with enough to eat, I’m sure you feel as blessed as I do.”

Continuing her message, she added: ”But if your life is currently full of difficulties, if you aren’t where you want to be, either literally or figuratively, remember that extraordinary transformations are possible. Everything changes. Nothing is forever.”

“Thinking back to my worst Christmas, I found it hard to believe that my unhappiness would pass, I was truly afraid of the future.”

“You never know what the future holds. Astonishing reversals of fortune happen every minute,” she wrote. “So if you’re sad or lonely or bereaved or ill or in any other way suffering this Christmas, I send you love and wish you luck and better times.”

“Millions of us have been where you are now. Remember Christmas Day is, in the end, just a day. It isn’t a test or a scorecard of you or your life, so be kind to yourself.”

Now, can someone please pass the tissues?

We all love our dogs, and might get them a nice new toy or a tasty bone for Christmas (if they don't pull down the Christmas tree in the mean time, that is).

Emma Buttarazzi is on another level when it comes to spoiling her pooch, and this year spent a whopping €5870.00 on Christmas presents for her Chinese crested pup, Prince.

We wouldn't even spend that much on our boyfriends to be honest, never mind our dogs.

Her high-end haul includes a personalised Swarovski crystal throne for her pup costing a whopping €2346.00, three custom made designer suits retailing at €300 each, and a plethora of toys, beauty supplements and tasty treats.

Emma, who runs a luxury pet website called Glamour Petz, has spent over €23,466.00 on Prince's lavish lifestyle.

“Nothing is too good for Prince and I love to spoil him at Christmas. He’s one of the family,” Emma told the Mirror.

"Prince loves being the ­centre of ­attention. He loves dressing up. I like to spoil him. I work hard and this is how I like to spend my money.”

The hairless dog has over 200 ensembles in his custom built wardrobe, and enjoys a healthy diet of freshly prepared steamed turkey and chicken, organic vegetables, scrambled eggs, coconut water, and herbal teas. 

That's one spoilt little puppy.

The magic of Christmas is clearly going strong in the royal family, as Kate Middleton splashed out on a pair of burlap sacks to hold her little one's Christmas presents.

At more than two and a half feet tall, the sacks easily surpass three-year-old George and one-year-old Charlotte.

The sacks were ordered specially from Selfridges, but are made by homewear and lifestyle brand Harrow & Green.

These festive accessories are sure to be a sell out now that they have the royal stamp of approval.

The sacks are emblazoned with a customizable name and message, along with (fittingly) a crown. 

The gorgeous sacks come in at around €33, which is a little pricey for some printed burlap, but they'd definitely look amazing beside a well decorated tree.

The young family will be spending Christmas day with the Middleton family rather than the royals this year.

If there is one truth that we know today to be true – it's that supermarkets are going to be JAMMERS over the next 48 hours. Indeed, today, Friday December 23, is anticipated to be the busiest shopping day of the year.

Because it just wouldn't be Christmas without a serious last minute panic around the grocery aisles.

And now the nation's Top Ten last-minute purchases have been revealed – as sold in Tesco Ireland stores nationwide on Christmas Eve in 2015.

Unsurprisingly, the likes of milk, cream and fresh bread are all high-priority for Irish shoppers:

1.       Fresh milk

2.       Fresh cream

3.       White bread

4.       Cola soft drinks

5.       Fruit flavour soft drinks 

6.       Bacon

7.       Crisps in a tube

8.       Lemons and limes

9.       Big bag crisps and snacks

10.     Brussels sprouts

Bacon makes its roaring debut in at No.6 having not featured at all in 2014. And the appearance of Brussels sprouts at No.10 is a smidgen controversial given the vegetable's rather mixed reputation. Still, Tesco expects to sell more than 2million sprouts TODAY ALONE – adding to the 6.5million sold in the last week.

Just when you thought you'd seen the back of 2016's crazy hair trends, from unicorn hair to glitter roots, a Christmas miracle occurs.

Christmas tree hair styles are sprouting up all over Instagram, and the tinsel touting feats of engineering are more than impressive.

 

A photo posted by Alfie Jean (@alfiejean) on

If you're seriously committed to showing your Christmas spirit, this hair challenge could be for you. 

The ridiculous trend requires a 'go hard or go home' mentality, and the more baubles, lights and tinsel applied, the better. 

The look requires engineering your long hair into an upwards cone shape, presumably with liberal amounts of gel and hairspray, before spraying it green and applying your choice of embellishments.

If you're not willing to sacrifice some baubles from your real tree, a few sparkly earrings should do the trick, along with a star hair clip as the pièce de résistance.

We think that Cindy Lou Who from Whoville would be seriously envious of this one.

We love Christmas, but donning a festive fleecy jumper and maybe a reindeer antler hair band is as far as were willing to go.
