There's just a few hours to go until Santa Departs.
News has reached us from the North Pole there are 60,000 tonnes of presents, games and toys packed onto the sleigh.
Sources in the Pole say Santa is currently examining weather charts and maps and selecting his route.
While the precise details are known only to the big man we understand he will visit the South Pacific first. New Zealand and Australia are next.
The best estimate for delivery time to Ireland is somewhere between 8 pm tonight and midnight.
