It might be a bit early, but the festive season is already in full swing, which means shops are getting super creative with their visual merchandising and Christmas decor.
It’s beginning to look a lot like #Christmas 😍
One department store with a particularly unique take is Tynwald Mills, located in the Isle of Man.
Santa's little helpers have been busy this week- our Christmas shop is now open
According to an online description, the shop is more than 30 years old and is the only department store in the Isle of Man.
And the department store ensured that shoppers would remember their visit with its distinctive Christmas display.
So a Shopping Centre on the Isle of Man just had their Christmas decorations done... 👀
The display featured two adult polar bear figures in a very suggestive position.
Solid positioning there.
There was also a brown bear who looked intrigued by the, er, festive scene.
Some people felt that perhaps the whole thing wasn't well thought out.
@Li4mricee @Markgatiss They possibly need to rethink that.
You can file this under “we did not think this through” or “we totally thought this through,” but there is no middle ground. https://t.co/u4NLoF7Bzv

Other people thought it was brilliant.
Patriotic tears of pride here. Excellent work all round. https://t.co/KzRjcSUqOQ
But most people were definitely amused.
Stuffing,dear? https://t.co/OlF8XtmJH2

The department store let customers know that the display had been rearranged in response to feedback. In a Facebook post, it apologised to anyone offended by the positioning of the bears.
We'll leave it to Santa to work out if they've been naughty or nice 🎄
