SANTA Claus is making his list and checking it twice before he returns to see the boys and girls in Killarney this Christmas.
He is spending today and tomorrow in the town to make sure he meets as many people as possible to hear what exactly they would like him to bring them on the biggest day of the year.
Santa will spend this Saturday and Sunday in his cabin at Killarney Outlet Centre where he will happily pose for snapshots with boys, girls, their mums and dads and even their family pets to ensure they have something nice to frame on the mantelpiece near the Christmas tree.
He will return to the North Pole on Sunday night to check that all the gifts are ready and packed nicely and to ensure that the elves haven’t been over-indulging in selection boxes and other seasonal goodies.
“I can’t wait to come back to Killarney on Christmas night and I hope all the lovely boys and girls are snuggled up in their beds, sound asleep when I arrive,” Santa told KillarneyToday.com.
“Rudolph can’t wait to come back because he made great friends with all the deer in Killarney National Park last year and he is looking forward to meeting them all again.”
