Dublin mum puts up tree and decorations on November 1st because she 'just loves Christmas'

An Irish mum who has already put up her Christmas tree and decorations says she 'just loves Christmas'.

June Ford from Clondalkin, west Dublin, may be the first person in Ireland to erect her decorations this early - a whopping 54 days before Christmas.

Her sitting room is now clad out with a huge tree, complete with lights and baubles, while her TV stand is filled with seven stuffed snowmen and five penguin soft toys.

An elf on a shelf also finds itself perched nicely upon the TV which itself is surrounded by fairy lights.

A candle holder with the word 'Christmas' also sits atop the stand.

June told the Irish Mirror she put the decorations up on November 1st because it "makes me feel good".  

She said: "I put it up because it makes me feel good and it gets me motivated to start my shopping for Christmas.

"It's not long now and it's so cozy, I love spreading the Christmas joy.

"We just love Christmas. I have a projector on the house and a small house and lights in the window."

June added that he family 'think she's mad' for putting up the decorations but says that they secretly love it.

She said: "I got no help. Done it on my own. My family think I'm mad but they love it."
