The Daily Poll‘TIS THE EIGHTH of December, the day when it was tradition for people from down the country to come up to Dublin for a day of festive shopping.
Back decades ago years ago when that tradition was in full swing in Ireland there wasn’t an option to shop online – but after the Covid-19 pandemic forcing a lot of us to do our gift shopping online, some of us may ditch tradition in favour of convenience and avoiding crowds.
So we’re wondering: Are you doing the bulk of your Christmas shopping online, or in-person this year?

Anything other than NEPHET is good news
@Maurice O Neill: Or even anything other than TRUMP is even better news.
@Maurice O Neill: Yes, but it’s going to be very cold so PLEASE only got out if essential. Ensure proper had hygiene with lots of moisturiser to stop chapping and wear gloves. Scarves, of course, are mandatory but we’ve had good compliance for this general. Lastly, 2 metre social distancing is recommended in the strongest terms, for an anyway decent snowball fight. Thank you.
I have several loaves of bread, toilet paper and easter eggs. I’m looking to swap for a Tesla, please, I know what I have and won’t negotiate.
@Ally Mc Culladgh: Tesla’s are rubbish in the snow
I knew it was a good idea to buy that snow shovel in Aldi 5 years ago.
@Tom Leddy: dam, I traded my snow shovel in for a multi tool that cuts from bread to oak trees.
In fairness this is the first “normal “ winter we’ve had in years. It won’t guarantee us a Summer though
@Sean Treacy: Well if it keeps a fair amount of people in, it might guarantee they’ll see Summer.
@Fiona Fitzgerald: well said
@Fiona Fitzgerald: wow!!
@Sean Treacy: positivity only please
It is already cold this afternoon, can definitely feel a difference. However, it is the first time I was outside of the house since Monday, so anything could have happened outside between then and now and it would be an event LOL
All there equipment and its all up in the air we might get snow we might not get snow come on its 2021 get it right
@Roy O’ Brien: “all the equipment”? This has to be one of the most laziest and misguided karen whinges of all journal comments history! Ask to see the manager….that should sort out your issues.
@Roy O’ Brien: I’m not one to slate a fellow O’Brien, so I won’t.
That will be helpful to the pensioners that are being screwed with the carbon tax on their oil and gas!
@John Mc Donagh: get a fat wife and save on heating
Time to defrost the freezer and stock up so.
Lads, YakTrax are a lifesaver if you’re walking on concrete.
