Are you all set for The Christmas

Will there not be a Santas Grotto in Donaghmede shopping centre. Wouldn’t that be good enough?

And that’s a fact, but I don’t begrudge spending it, but I just find the adult charges excessive.
Been to Bunratty before, it lashed rain the evening we were there and we one of the last groups in so didn’t get to full enjoy it. Going earlier in the evening this year, it’s very well setup in fairness.

How much would a place like that pay to get Santa? He’s a whore for the money he’s appearing all over the shop

It’s not the real Santa, it’s just one of his associates. He’ll go back then and tell the real Santa what the various clients want. Santa and the elves will then cross reference this with the written instruction received from the clients and conduct follow up calls with parents and guardians to iron out any discrepancies. It’s a very slick operation.

I suspect Santa holds a lot of personal data in a non secure environment.

I heard he’s selling client information to marketers for use in targeted advertising, by sending letters on to him you automatically agree to his T&C’s so he’s entitled to do what he wants with the information. It’s called the Santa Clause.

He holds it all up in The Cloud.

He will have to seriously up his game when GDRP is implemented next year or he could be looking at hefty fines.

Santa must have a few hundred lads working in big data, I’d say he’s on serious grants from the Lapland Development Board. Number one employer in the area.

Different kettle of fish @Fagan_ODowd. The Christmas experience ones generally have more to them. The malahide one has a full tour of the castle with actors set up in the different rooms as various Christmas characters apparently. Would you pick up any work as Santa yourself?

His dodgy knees wouldn’t hold up to a few hundreds kids

That Malahide thing sounds like a crock of shit for gouging cash out of the middle class mums and dads of the Fingal Riviera. The kind of cunts that run around the castle grounds behind an All terrain pram before repairing to the Avoca cafe for some ludicrously overpriced victuals.

Correct I couldn’t be sitting all day.

That sounds lovely.

Don’t you regularly frequent Higgins on the cross for the overpriced victuals and coffee?

You can’t put a price on quality pal.

Il Valentino do.

Has anyone here ever done Christmas with the kids in a hotel?

I’ve done Dec 26th to New Years for the last few years. I’d highly recommend it. Make sure and stay in a decent hotel, with a pool if they’re into swimming.If you’re heading to a city you’ll have shopping and also Christmas pantos.
Cork opera house are hosting Cinderella this year. We’ve gotten tickets for Dec 26th, stating in the metropole.

Tayto park was decent last year and if I remember correctly they didn’t ride us too bad cost wise.
