JESSICA O’MAHONY revealed she had done a “teeeeeny bit of Christmas decorating” with a photo of her festive fireplace.
While there is over a month until Christmas, the wife of Ireland and Munster Rugby titan Peter O’Mahony is wasting no time.
On Monday, she shared a photo of her fully decorated fireplace to Instagram, with garland and candles from Flanagan & Harhen.
The fireplace also boasts statuettes of the Three Wise Men, which she revealed she got from Nordic Elements.
The mother-of-three said: “Just did a teeeeeny bit of Christmas decorating. Will do the rest in two weeks time when I get a real tree”.
Peter O’Mahony had followers in stitches at his reaction, as he commented: “Don’t worry I’ll just tidy up behind you”.
Aside from that cheeky bit of trolling, many fans were blown away by the festive set-up.
One said: “Beautiful candles” while a second hailed: “Adorable and so nice for the kids”.
A third posted: “Beautiful. l am admiring your basket beside the fire , log basket. Would you mind sharing where you got it. Thanks”
Harriet Beirne – wife of Peter O’Mahony’s teammate Tadhg – said: “Ah here will I refer back to our chat last week when I said I wanted to decorate?”
Jessica responded: “I just did a sniff”
Christmas may be over a month away, but the winter chill has well and truly taken hold, including in the O’Mahony’s home county of Cork.
Met Eireann has issued a new status orange snow and ice warning for five counties as temperatures drop to -4C overnight.
Extremely low temperatures of -4C and dangerous icy conditions are set to grip Ireland for the rest of this week, with a warning of another cold day ahead and with “hard frost and plenty of ice” to continue.
There is also set to be a “significant risk of rain and sleet turning to snow” later today.
A status orange snow and ice warning has been issued for Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford.
Significant snowfall accumulations are expected under this new warning.
Those living or travelling within these counties are being warned of very difficult travelling conditions and disruption, poor visibility, disruption and delays to public transport, difficult conditions underfoot and animal welfare issues.
The warning is set to be put in place from midnight on Thursday until midday.
Met Eireann describes a status orange warning as “infrequent and dangerous weather conditions which may pose a threat to life and property.”
