I find they generally stock a whole lot of things for Christmas and a lot for the family.

Ahh Home Alone. I think I know every word of every bit of it. My sister was a tad obsessed with it as a child! (and still a bit as an adult!)

flutterflye · 22-11-2012 04:10PM

Is Frada really Santa Claus? :eek:

TeddyTedson · 22-11-2012 04:13PM

Where do all the Santa letters go? Do they go to Finland?

Lady Chatterton · 22-11-2012 04:13PM

I'm so looking forward to watching 'A Wonderful Life' again this Christmas. I think it's a beautiful film!

Mint Sauce · 22-11-2012 04:14PM

TeddyTedson · 22-11-2012 04:16PM

Anyone know where I can get a tuggie in Ireland? It's getting cold out :pac:

For the last few years I've cut down my tree from local forestry. Am waiting for a national lampoons type moment

It should be illegal for grown men and women to wear onesies :eek: They look particularly bad on men though. Who wants to be with a man who is dressed up like a baby? :eek::D:D:D

I think An Post does something with them. My mum says that when we were little Santa used to go on the radio and say hi to everyone he'd gotten a letter from, by name. I don't remember it at all, but she insists that we used to sit and wait for our names to be read so that we'd knew he'd gotten our letters.

Oh, and they do get read, and not just binned on receipt. I once got a letter which referenced something I'd written in my letter so, at least in the 80s, letters to Santa were read by someone at An Post.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2236382/Celebrities-fuel-trend-onesies-Asda-stockpiles-ONE-MILLION-time-Christmas.html

"Sales of onsies in ASDA have gone up by 606 percent, with one million stockpiled for Christmas... Debenhams have also see an increase of 155 percent.

So the odds are someone here is going to give/receive a onsie this year.
Mine is very comfy, it's a bunny rabbit one with ears and tail, would never go out in it, but I have answered the door with it on a few times.

Do you already own one, would you be happy to receive this as a Christmas present ?.

An Post open all the Santa letters and they send out a special Santa letter in response.

I remember receiving the An Post Santa letter as kid and now my six year old loves to receive them.

From An Post: In your letter clearly write your (child's) name and address. Post your letter to: Santa Claus, North Pole (using a 55c stamp). Santa's helpers in An Post will make sure you receive a personal reply from the great man himself, just before Christmas.
