    The Clearys Santa who many regard the best will be at the I believe in Christmas event. You'll need to book in advance for him.

    Isn't he only for block bookings though? 30 children at a time and you don't get to talk to him just hear him read a story and write a letter to leave for him.

    Does anyone know what time the I Believe Christmas tree lights will be turned on? It's on the 26th but I can't find the time. I'd like to go to one of the lighting ceremonies but we probably wont make it down to Smithfield in time on the 26th and I Believe is super convenient for us.

    If anyone is up around Bath Avenue, Dublin 4 Mr Tilly turned on his lights this week.

    He decorates his house with loads of outdoor lights and ornaments and people go to see it and make a donation to the Irish Hospice Foundation.

    I live quite close to Bath Avenue, I've just been wondering when these lights will be turned on! I'll have to take a stroll down that way during the week!

    If anyone is interested, there is now a second showing of Elf at the Sugar Club on 7th December. (The showing on the 1st has sold out)

    There's a new Christmas thing* coming to Galway. It will be down next to the Connacht Tribune office where the Arts Festival Gallery has been for the past couple of years.

    http://www.icevillegalway.com/

    It looks like it's an ice cabin (akin to an icebar)

    Fair pricey though!

    In case anyone is interested the coca cola truck tour starts this Friday (27th nov). It's worth a look if you live nearby. I can't do links but Google will give you the links.
